In 1887 Texas, nineteen-year-old Mabel Colter, daughter of a blacksmith, walked home at dusk through a dusty cattle town. When Harlan Pike — a hard-drinking cowboy with a reputation for charm in daylight and cruelty in shadows — cornered her in an alley, Mabel fought back. In the struggle, his own pistol went off. The town saw not self-defense but a girl with blood on her hands. Sentenced to fourteen years in the stone-gray walls of Redstone Prison, Mabel Colter became more than a convict.
