A non-stop Wild West comedy bursting with puns and a brilliant cast of characters

Laura Norder lives her life by the Golden Rules and so should everybody else.

One Shot  by Tanya Landman

A powerful and deeply moving coming-of-age drama inspired by the life of sharpshooter Annie Oakley.
 

Blurb: 

After the death of her beloved father, Maggie and her family are thrown into a life of destitution. With little income and no way to live off their poor land, Maggie tries to provide for her family the way her father always had – with his hunting rifle and whatever animals the forest would provide. But when her mother is confronted with her “unladylike” behaviour, Maggie is thrown into a life of unthinkable cruelty and abuse. With no one to care for her and only the hope of escape, all Maggie can do is survive.
