The Plot :
Bess Parker is only twenty-one years old when she sets out by herself in 1908 , leaving the safety of her childhood home for southwestern North Dakota to establish a homestead . And it takes all the strength she can muster to succeed — facing the perils of the vast prairie , making her homestead productive , conquering the dangers of the frontier , flirting with romance , struggling with the emotional needs of her heart and body , and meeting the challenges of life on the prairie . But this unique young woman has a steely determination , and her story is the epitome of courage and grit in a difficult and sometimes cruel time in the history of the west .
Review ***** Rochelle Weber Roses & Thorns Reviews Wrote on Amazon : “ Excellent First Novel About a Strong , Feisty Woman Pioneer . … Bess grabbed me at the beginning and held my attention straight through . I had difficulty putting it down . … Bess is a plucky character — a strong woman who makes her own way in a man ’ s world . A true pioneer in more than one sense of the word . I highly recommend Bess .” https :// www . amazon . com / review / R27MMZJNOOUWOV
