Confessions of a Lady Outlaw

Okay, it's been a long time since I read this book, but it has stuck with me over the years and I think I can do it's review justice...hopefully. The book is told from Little Britches' point of view...I forget her real name. Anyway Little Britches and Annie are best friends...actually, I guess it's more like Little Britches is the sidekick to the beautiful and wild Annie. Annie wants something more from life and she sees her chance for freedom and adventure when the girls meet up with a notorious gang of thieves. Annie soon begins a passionate affair with the gang's leader, while Little Britches loses her heart to another member of the gang. The girls are soon introduced to a life of crime and they begin taking part in the gang's unlawful activities. But will the girls realize, too late, that their lark is something far more dangerous than they ever anticipated?This is not a book for kids and this is not a fairytale romance. This is a look at the Wild West through the eyes of a woman outlaw. It's gritty and real and you'll probably never forget it, if you read it.

My favorite book

I have read this book over ten times and try to read it every couple of years. Thelma and Louise in the Wild West. I have recommended it to all of my friends and nobody has been disapointed yet.
