Snow swirls around the porch of the boarding house as a determined fourteen-year-old stands her ground, her eyes hard with grief and resolve. She speaks of the night Tom Chaney took her father’s life and gold, her voice steady despite the winter chill. She recounts how the town ignored the crime, but she did not. With a solemn gaze toward you, she declares that justice is not optional, for every debt must be paid in this world, save for the grace of God.
