Annie And The Wolves - Andromeda Romano-Lax

Ruth McClintock is obsessed with the past. For nearly a decade, she has been studying Annie Oakley, convinced that the legendary sharpshooter experienced a scarring event in childhood that led her to fight for the right of every American woman to own and operate a gun. This fruitless search has cost Ruth her doctorate, a book deal, and her fiance. But Ruth may finally have the evidence she is looking for. She has managed to hunt down a journal purporting to be a ''true account'' of Oakley''s midlife struggles, including secret visits to a psychoanalyst and the desire for vengeance against the ''Wolves,'' or those who have wronged her.
