The General's Notorious Widow by Stephen Bly

Lixie Miller, secluded in Lordsburg, New Mexico, meets Jefferson Carter and finds her interest piqued. Annoyed by "famous writer" Charles P Noble of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who wants to write her autobiography as the notorious General's widow, Lixie is determined that he will not write about her. When a young, injured Apache girl is brought to her for care, her maternal instincts kick in. All this makes for an interesting story in a western setting. Not a bad read. Sandy Penton
