IN THE STILL-DARK morning of March 6, everything changed for the Hext family. Everything.
Dessa Hext and cousin Liza Cooper had returned home late Saturday evening from a trip to Fort Worth. As is usual, they had been rodeoing, and the trailer full of horses they hauled had to be unloaded and fed before they could get some sleep.
“We put all the horses up, like normal,” said Dessa, “and went home to bed. At 4:45, I woke up to my mom screaming. ‘Get up,’ she said. ‘The barn is on fire.’”
