In some mountain coves of North Carolina, "for better or for worse" still means just that. Winnette knew Ernest Lloyd Plover to be a hard-drinking, drug-pushing, gun-carrying, abusive man before she married him, didn t she? Then she shot him dead in self-defense--or premeditated murder. Her trial proceeds through the testimony of witnesses and the pronouncements of the crotchety judge, the rookie DA, and the retired lawyer court-appointed to defend her. No Perry Mason antics here; just plain mountain people trying to arrive at justice. Characterizations are strong, the descriptions of wife abuse even more so. While not of the quality of Ehle s The Winter People ( LJ 3/15/82) and Last One Home ( LJ 9/1/84), this is still recommended for public libraries.
