You are invited into a time when Washington was a treacherous territory riddled with cougars, grizzlies, and was no place for “a proper young lady”.
May Amelia Jackson is a spunky little tomboy who thinks that “being a proper young lady would not be much fun at all.” Especially when there are “sheeps” to be herded, the Nasal River to ride, and real live murderers on the loose. Mean while Kaarlo (the cousin who is staying at the Jackson’s) is having troubles of his own, and Mama is pregnant. May hopes for a girl.
I think that Jennifer L. Holm has done a wonderful job mixing tragedy, comedy, and family love, and lacing them throughout the book. I would most unquestionably recommend this book but it is a tear-shedder.
