A little over fifty years ago in small town Michigan, Sarah Barclay fell hard for another woman, igniting a husband's jealousy. He threatened to throw acid in Sarah's face, to kill her, if she didn't leave his wife alone. One summer night, he attacked Sarah, and she shot him. Was it self-defense or manslaughter? When she died two years later in prison, at the tender age of twenty-six, what was the cause? Part true crime, part memoir, Wild Horses returns to the summer of 1967 and examines young women's lives in the sea-change years between Mad Men and Women's Liberation.
