Can you love a life that ruins you?

This is the meditation at the heart of E.W. Cole’s break out novel, Lady of the House. It tells the story of Maurey McCarthy, a nineteenth century Texas horse rancher who comes home to find his wife murdered and his life’s work ruined, setting him up to make a choice that may destroy everything that’s left. Cole blends sweeping western landscapes with profound psychological insight, crafting a story of moral struggle and human fallibility.

Weaving dark natural realism and timeless mediations on the choices we make, Lady of the House is a powerful re-imagination of the Texas frontier, and man’s capacity to endure his fate.
