Stopgap, Arkansas in 1875 doesn’t have a lot of amenities, other than mud. One non-mud good thing is reliable witch/midwife, Gwendolyn Higgins. Unfortunately, not everyone in town is happy that Gwendolyn even exists. When she loses one patient too many, she’s blamed for murder. She has to run, just like she always has, due to a painful and violent past. It’s a good thing she has supernatural help in the form of a smart alec cat, a zombified crow, and an opinionated book of magic. Winner of the 2017 A Woman's Write Contest.
