She may be a miracle,
but sheβs no Proper Young Lady!
It isnβt easy being a pioneer in the state of Washington in 1899, but itβs particularly hard when you are the only girl ever born in the new settlement. With seven older brothers and a love of adventure, May Amelia Jackson just canβt seem to abide her familyβs insistence that she behave like a Proper Young Lady. Not when thereβs fishing to be done, sheep to be herded, and real live murderers to be captured! May is sure she could manage better if only there were at least one other girl living along the banks of the Nasel River. And now that Mamaβs going to have a baby, maybe thereβs hope. . . .
