A book by a contemporary single woman in the West who took in her deceased brother's kids to raise. The name?

Question

What is her name and what is the name of the book? She was an older single woman perhaps living in Texas. Perhaps she was a newspaper columnist. Her brother and sister-in-law were killed tragically and she took in their children to raise. I loved the book and now I can't remember the name. It was not Molly Ivins.
