Connie Rogers is vulnerable because she's old and alone in her farmhouse. The sheriff has warned her to move out because the youthful drug gang that invaded her home and robbed her has cased her house and they'll come back. He says they'll give her a month to replace the things they took; they'll come back and he can't protect her. If the authorities can't protect her, can an old woman alone in an isolated farmhouse protect herself from a gang of young men on drugs with only a Saturday night special and stubborn determination? Peggy Snodgrass's In Another Country is a novel of justice and independence, an atmospheric celebration of humanity and individual will, guaranteed to keep readers turning the pages, right to the powerful conclusion.
