The Outcasts alternates between two tales that, of course, come together in the end. Lucinda Carter is a whore in Texas in the 1800's and escapes to become a respectable schoolteacher in Louisiana. However, she still isn't respectable and has a bad habit of choosing bad men to love.
Nate Cannon is the moral opposite of Lucinda. He's a Texas police officer who is learning the ropes of his new job--following his elders and trying to police the Old West. It doesn't always work very well and he has to make a lot of decisions along the way.
I love old westerns and shows like Longmire, so this book hit the spot for me. Exciting, a bit naughty, adventurous, and a quick, good adult read!
