This one will introduce some new characters. Not sure of their roles just yet but I'm already in love with their characters. Donna is a young widow of Nez Perce descent and Daisy is her precocious daughter Daisy. Here's an excerpt from the first chapter:
**********************************
"“What do you fuckwits want?” she snarled as the 3 brothers formed a loose arc in front of her silhouetted by the lights of her car She flung her raven wing hair back as she squared her shoulders and lifted her chin in defiance. She wasn’t going to let them see her fear or her tears no matter what they did to her. She knew they fed on the terror of others and she wouldn’t give them the satisfaction.
“You know what you did Darlin’ and you know what we are going to do to you,” said Jonah in a low growl through his thick dark beard as he grabbed the crotch of his greasy jeans.
“Who knows maybe if you are really good we’ll let you live for a while after. Mebbe even long enough that we can have seconds?” said Jebediah with a twitch of his fat liver-colored lips.
“Ssssorry about this Donna, but you know we have ta do this. You shouldn’t oughta hurt pappa like that,” stuttered Saul apologetically.
Maybe a hay hook to the nutsack had been a tad bit of an overreaction thought Daisy, but the old pervert had laid hands on Daisy and no matter that practically the whole family had been abusing Donna for months, no one messed with her daughter while she still drew breath. The 18 inch long steel shaft with the wicked hook on its end hadn’t quite gutted the old man but it was unlikely that he’d be feeling frisky ever again."
