Excerpt from Book "Colonel!" I cried. The Colonel opened his long arms and scooped me in. Miss Lana says hugging the Colonels like hugging a turning plow, but I like the scrawny steel of his muscles and the jutting angles of his bones. "I thought youd still be in bed, resting," I said. He tightened the belt of his green plaid robe I gave him for Christmas the year I turned six. "Dale told me you had a stranger," he said, eyeing Starr. I pointed. "Thats Joe Starr," I whispered. "Hes a lawman."
