Armadillo in the Grass

"Catches a moment in the life of every woman when she has to ask herself how brave she may be--to change or to stay as she is. Clara Blue, long married, with children, finds unexpected artistry in herself, and it becomes a challenge and a fright. It clearly opens doors that require others to be closed. No cattle-queens, no oil-baron wives, no honky-tonk romances--a real Texas, nonetheless, and a story that is shaped by its Texas setting." --A.C. Greene THE 50 BEST BOOKS ON TEXAS
