Most people think of the 1950's as a time of family values and
conformity. Newspaper reporter Roxie Mallone was a woman in the
1950's who refused to conform, and she lived her life on her own
terms. Trying to keep her personal family values in tact and those
of the citizens of the town she loved, she took on another type of
family: the mob that ran her town. And, in particular, she took on
the one man who ran it, Butchie Cagney, the town's supposed pillar
of family values and all of its virtues. From the time her own life
was threatened by Butchie and his thugs, Roxie made a vow to expose
him and his wrongdoings in a war of words that spanned over a
decade.
Little by little, she seemed to be winning the war until Butchie
came a bit too close to home.
Did Roxie go too far? Were her efforts all in vain? And worst of
all, would her campaign against crime cost Roxie her life, or worse
yet, the lives of the ones she loved?
"Hearsay: Watercolor Memories of Roxie Mallone" answers these
questions and many, many more
Roxie Mallone was a woman ahead of her time, and "Hearsay:
Watercolor Memories of Roxie Mallone" tells her story and serves as
an inspiration for women and men of any time and any generation to
stand up for their principles and do the right thing, no matter
what the cost may be
