Several years later, her maternal grandmother sought custody of her and took her back to Yancy County. A LIFE FOR NANCY takes readers on a journey of Nancy's life from 1832 until her death in 1901.

Based on true stories handed down through the generations and actual documents found by family members, this work of historical fiction is full of mystery, romance and murder, as Nancy seeks to find some sort of peace in her life.
