2023 New Mexico-Arizona Book Award Finalist
A novel of wild women, unbreakable friendships, a madcap road trip, and help found in the least likely places.
In 1905 Kansas, ex-dancehall girl and outlaw Ruby Calhoun has settled into a (mostly) quiet and (mostly) lawful life. But out of the blue her past comes hustling into town when her ex-dancehall partner, Pip Quinn, shows up with a grim message and dangerous mission: Cullen Wilder, an old enemy with a long memory, is determined to see them six feet under.
With Cullen's relentless henchman hot on their trail, Ruby and Pip find themselves in a mad dash through the Kansas hinterlands, not just to save a friend, but to save their own hides. What follows is a journey filled with hilariously unforgettable mishaps, mayhem, blunders, bounders, and a cast of eccentric characters.
Through it all, Ruby is haunted by the memories of her life years ago in Arizona Territory, when the upstairs girls at the Paradise Saloon and Dancehall kept her safe, and the dreadful day when it all went wrong.
Will Ruby have the guts to face her turbulent past, or will she cut and run like a coward one more time?
Join these two accidental outlaws as they outwit their foes and try to stay one step ahead of the law.
"Blakemore’s madcap novel sparkles with scintillating wit, heartfelt warmth, and snappy repartee..." - Historical Novels Review

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - \*\*\*LARGE PRINT EDITION\*\*\*¿Ruby Calhoun has worked hard to outrun her past. Unfortunately, her past runs faster.In 1905 Kansas, Ruby Calhoun has worked very hard to become a respectable woman. Or at least a woman who isn't actively being chased. The dancehall days are behind her. The gunfire, the narrow escapes, the upstairs girls at the Paradise Saloon who once formed her first fragile family - all of that belongs to another lifetime.Until Pip Quinn bursts back into town with terrible news and an even worse plan.An old enemy has resurfaced, and he is not inclined toward forgiveness. The safest course of action would be to leave quietly. Naturally, Ruby and Pip choose the opposite.What follows is a wildly ill-advised journey across the Kansas plains filled with botched disguises, questionable alliances, con artists, missed trains, accidental heroics, and a growing realization that running from the past is far easier than facing it.But beneath the blunders lies something stronger: loyalty. The women of the Paradise once kept each other alive in a world with little interest in their survival. And when danger circles again, Ruby must decide whether she will keep running - or finally claim the fierce, complicated strength that has always bound the Good Time Girls together.The Good Time Girls is a lively, sharp, and heartfelt historical novel about friendship, second chances, and the remarkable resilience of women who make terrible decisions - and somehow survive them.
