Treadwell: Sheltered in the Foothills of Southern Indiana, a Reclusive Woman is Pushed to Her Limits by the Savage Invasion of Ruthless Drug Dealers Dana Joy Wyzard

After living for sixty years in the cabin of her birth, Nelda Pike is as resilient and self-reliant as she needs to be. Like other residents in the backwoods town of Treadwell, she guards her anonymity with a fierce tenacity and a shotgun. When she discovers a terrified young woman stumbling beside the country road, Nelda goes against her better judgment and offers temporary sanctuary. As the only witness to her mother's brutal murder, seventeen year old Laura is running for her life. Successfully tracking her to Nelda's secluded cabin, the killers forcibly abduct Laura and disappear into the backwoods. Enraged, Nelda reaches out to her lifelong friend, Wosie Mae - a woman as irascible and indomitable as Nelda herself - for help. Together, two old women with shotguns, and a geriatric hound, are now on the murderer's trail.
