Summary

Robber's Roost introduces us to a delightfully insufferable pair of ne'er-do-wells, Larken Blakemore and Emmy Farrell. Accomplished in the social graces of New Orleans casino life in the 1860s, these two spoiled descendants of wealthy Louisiana families abandon their delightfully decadent lifestyle for the rough forbidding cliffs of Utah's Robber's Roost. When Larken, Emmy and their faithful companions stumble into the notorious outlaw hideout, they discover much to their dismay, they have more in common with the outlaws than they dare admit. Provocative, funny, and spirited, Robber's Roost chronicles the journey of a merry band of characters, devoted to self-gratification and the pursuit of pleasure, who find the revelation that hard work, honesty, and a little luck provide salvation and self-respect. The screenplay Robber's Roost, by Katharine Booth Goodson, inspired Guyanne Booth to explore further the rich depths of the characters in this book of the same name.
