Reading and Signing with Leslie Budewitz Description:
About the Book: All God’s Sparrows imagines the life and heart of Mary Fields (1832-1914), a real-life woman born into slavery who spent her last 30 years in Montana, ten of them working with the Ursuline Sisters at St. Peter’s Mission. There, she found freedom and community, and her own place in the West. The stories follow Mary as she brings solace and justice to a young Native girl and her mother, a working woman in danger of being railroaded for murder, and a picture bride determined to solve the mysteries of her fiancé’s death, his homesteading neighbors’ bitterness, and her own future.

About the Author: Leslie Budewitz blends her passion for food, great mysteries, and the Northwest in two cozy mystery series, the Spice Shop mysteries set in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, and the Food Lovers’ Village mysteries, set in NW Montana. She also writes historical short fiction set in Montana. As Alicia Beckman, she writes moody, stand-alone suspense. A three-time Agatha-Award winner and past president of Sisters in Crime, she lives in Bigfork, Montana.
