The Change book cover\



There is an unknown predator in a tiny Montana town in 1920. Older women are disappearing in staggering numbers, fourteen so far. When Clara Terrell, a faith-filled prairie wife, learns the terrifying truth, that men are having their menopausal wives arrested, tried, and sentenced to the state insane asylum, she narrowly escapes the same fate.

Needing to have justice redeemed for the women who suffered such betrayal in marriage, Clara travels to the state capital where she fights to have the women released and to take down the powerful, ruthless men responsible for the injustice. Annie Hazelton, Clara's charismatic, progressive friend; Connor Sullivan, a passionate attorney; and Maxwell Heinz, an awkward yet powerful man in the state capital, help Clara in her quest for justice. The four of them form a strong bond as they face danger, murder charges, and disbelief; and along the way, they uncover facets of themselves that have long lain dormant.
