the Angel and Badman

He lived by the gun. She asked him to live differently. Angel and the Badman follows Quirt Evans - outlaw, gunfighter, and man of hard-won infamy - as he rides into the quiet Quaker community of the Penningtons and finds the one thing his reputation has never prepared him for: genuine goodness. Nursing a wound and hunted by enemies he cannot outrun, Quirt is drawn into the Pennington household and into the orbit of Temperance, a young Quaker woman whose faith and grace challenge everything his life has been built on. As Quirt is slowly disarmed - not by lawmen or rivals, but by kindness - he must decide whether the man he has been is the man he has to remain. Angel and the Badman is a story about violence and its costs, about redemption and whether it is ever truly available, and about what happens when a life built on force encounters a world built on peace. An unforgettable Western from the Phantom Writers Club.
