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 in the desert of Eastern New Mexico; Sylvia Rogers Caldwell who was born in Indian Territory and married a cowboy-turned-wildcatter; Betsy Caldwell James who braved the Civil War alone on her farm in Georgia; and Lucy Fagan DuBois who ranched in South Texas.
It’s about courage, perseverance and character.
