At the age of 16, Jade Jewel met a man who would have a profound effect on her. At the house of pleasure of her mother, Jade met a gambler named Nevada. The story resumes three years later. After the unexpected deaths of both of Jades parents, she found that she had 3 sisters in Texas. She decided to visit them; then decided to open a pleasure palace in Hanging Tree, Texas.
There, she meets Reverend Wade Weston, a handsome man looking for redemption amongst the towns citizens. I am surprised that Jade did not recognize Weston as the gambler Nevada immediately.
Although the interest between the towns preacher and the new madam sounded like an interesting proposition, I didnt think the characters had much depth. The resolution of Jades fancy bordello was an absolute shock and very unrealistic.
