New York Times bestselling author Bob DeMoss presents his encounter with Hazel Farris, a hard-living, wild Kentucky woman. Born in 1880, Hazel's penchant for fast living and faster guns, finally caught up with her in 1906 when her husband fell victim of his wife's outrage, steel nerve, and deadly aim.
Did Hazel shoot the sheriff and his deputy? How did she become mummified? Did 500,000 people actually pay to see her remains? Is her story a tall tale—or the real deal? Does a country carny who introduced Hazel to the author hold the key to the truth? And, why do we hold on to things in life which should have been buried long ago?
DeMoss has collaborated with Phil Robertson/Duck Dynasty, Tim LaHaye/Left Behind, and Skip Yowell/JanSport.
Bob DeMoss draws you into this story and makes you feel like you are right there with him, absorbing every moment and twist in the story.
