Autorenporträt
Early on, Cinda Gault's imagination was captured by women's issues as she organized a shelter for victims of domestic violence. After completing two Masters degrees in Criminology and English, she went on to earn her PhD featuring female and Canadian national identity issues in women's writing of the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, she has taught and written about Canadian literature. Now she offers this story of a woman's epic journey with a horse and a gun.
