It’s not about Lucy, because she exists now only in my imagination.

She’s could be a mental compilation of pioneer women in my heritage … Katy Caldwell Windsor who homesteaded with her young husband in the desert of  New Mexico and Arizona; Sylvia Rogers Caldwell who was born in Indian Territory and married a cowboy-turned-wildcatter; Elizabeth James Caldwell who braved the Civil War alone on her farm in the north Georgia mountains; and Lucy Fagan DuBois who ranched with her daughters on the San Antonio River in South Texas.

It’s about courage, perseverance and character.
