It isn''t easy being a pioneer in the state of Washington in
1899, but it''s 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 can''t seem to abide her family''s
insistence that she behave like a Proper Young Lady. Not when
there''s 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 Mama''s going to have a baby, maybe
there''s hope.
