      Before the Civil War, North Alabama was infamous for lawlessness. The era saw courts filled with defendants who spanned the socioeconomic gamut--farmers, merchants and politicians. In 1811, John B. Haynes tore apart William Badger's house with his bare hands. Rodah Barnett ran a series of ill-reputed brothels in the early 1820s. In 1818, Rebecca Layman "accidentally" gave her husband sulfuric acid instead of rum. There is even a case of assault with frozen corn. Author John O'Brien relays these and more stories of the shady side of North Alabama during the antebellum period.

      The book presents a compelling argument for the valid ordination of women in the Catholic Church, challenging the notion of an unbroken tradition against it. O'Brien highlights historical evidence of women's ministries in the early Church, noting that cultural adaptations, rather than theological necessity, led to their marginalization. The text reveals that women were ordained in the past and that subsequent prohibitions were selectively enforced. It posits that current canon law, which restricts ordination to men, can and should be reformed, emphasizing the need for a shift in understanding rather than doctrine.
