"Remember -- you make your own luck."
Abandoned on the frontier by her faithless fiancé, Jane Peck prepares to head home, only to learn that the Philadelphia life she once knew is no more. But can a proper young lady find happiness as the only woman in a primitive pioneer settlement? Armed with only a finishing-school education and her natural determination, Jane must endure life with her flea-bitten landlord, a perilous manhunt, and the traps and hazards of a blossoming romance.
Will Jane survive the challenges of the wild, uncharted frontiers of friendship, love, and the Washington Territory?

Synopsis
Jane Peck is a nineteenth-century girl with a mind of her own and a handsome suitor who loves her for it.
