Merijoan Takes the Reins

Merijoan decided to go to New Orleans herself to rescue her two wayward boys. She sat down one night and made out a list of things she needed to think of and things she needed to do. At the top of the think of list was written: Think through the penalty for murder. At the top of her to do list: Pack baseball bat. The bat was stored in the back of her closet and had been removed from her car years ago when the preacher had called her into his office and warned her of the wrath of the Lord and, not to be minimized, the wrath of the state if she carried out her threat against Maywinnie Baltz, a local hair dresser. It seems Maywinnie had been spotted parked out at Harper Lake in a car, in the moonlight with Merijoan's husband. At the bottom of the to do list was: Pack Bible. So off to New Orleans goes the wounded wife and mother with killing in her eyes and justice against all loose women in her heart.
