Overview
Born into slavery in Tennessee, the remarkable "Stagecoach Mary" Fields was a larger-than-life figure who cherished her independence, yet formed a deep bond with the Ursuline Sisters, traveling to their Montana mission in 1885 and spending the last thirty years of her life living there or in nearby Cascade. Mary is believed to have been the first Black woman in the country to drive a U.S. Postal Star Route, the source of her nickname. In All God's Sparrows and Other Stories, Agatha Award-winning author Leslie Budewitz brings together three short stories, each originally published in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, imagining the life of Stagecoach Mary in her first year in Montana, and a novella exploring her later life, including: All God's Sparrows, winner of the 2018 Agatha Award for Best Short Story; Miss Starr's Goodbye, a nominee for the Short Mystery Fiction Society's Derringer Award; Coming Clean, a finalist for the Western Writers of America's 2021 Spur Award for Best Short Story; and A Bitter Wind, a brand-new novella in which Mary helps a young woman newly arrived in the valley solve the mystery of her fiancé's death and his homesteading neighbors' bitterness toward him. Includes an abbreviated bibliography and historical notes from the author. Praise for All God's Sparrows and Other Stories "Budewitz captures a complex and complicated Mary Fields and comes closer to the truth than the caricatures that have evolved around the remarkable life of this singular woman of the West." -Quintard Taylor, PhD., Founder of BlackPast.org "Finely researched and richly detailed, All God's Sparrows and Other Stories is a wonderful collection. I loved learning about this fascinating woman . . . and what a character she is! Kudos to Leslie Budewitz for bringing her to life so vividly." -Kathleen Grissom, New York Times bestselling author of Crow Mary
