Publisher Description

In a town she personifies, Ouisie Pepper wrestles with her own defiance. Desperate to become the wife and mother her husband Hap demands, Ouisie pours over a simple book about womanhood, constantly falling short, but determined to improve.

Through all that self-improvement, Ouisie carries a terrible secret: she knows who killed Daisy Chance. As her children inch closer to uncovering the killer's identity and Hap's rages roar louder and become increasingly violent, Ouisie has to make a decision. Will she protect her children by telling her secret? Or will Hap's violence silence them all?

Set on the backdrop of Defiance, Texas, Ouisie's journey typifies the choices we all face - whether to tell the truth about secrets and fight for the truth or bury them forever and live with the violent consequences.

"I did not read the books before and I was pleased to learn that I did not have to. I till got the whole story and liked it. I won this book from a book contest and felt luck to have won it. It teaches us that even in churches things are not always right, but we can stay close to God with hope that this can get better."

    " I abandoned this book. I'd finished the first two of the trilogy. Finally, about twenty chapters in, I asked my family to tell me how it ended. "

    " Finally, I was able to find out whodunnit! This is a nice wrap up to the first two in this series, Daisy Chain and A Slow Burn. Love Mary's literary style and depth of emotion. You have to read these in order to really appreciate Life in Defiance, so start with Daisy Chain. "

    " Dark...unrelenting...heartbreaking. Needed lots more Hixon and lots less Hap. Too more dark, not enough light. "

    " This is the book I was waiting for. Ouisie Pepper is a major character in all three books of the trilogy, but not until this one do we at last get to see her deal head-on with her abusive husband. When DeMuth finally got to it, she did a masterful job of it. I enjoyed every minute of this book. "
