Fans of adventure, romance, and a strong heroine will love this this action-packed historical trilogy by three-time Newbery Honor winner and
New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Holm.
1855. The unknown wilds of the Pacific Northwest—a land not yet tamed, and certainly not fitting for a proper young lady! Yet that’s just where Miss Jane Peck finds herself. After a tumultuous childhood on the wrong side of Philadelphia high society, Jane is trying to put aside her reckless ways and be accepted as a proper young lady. And so when handsome William Baldt proposes, she joyfully accepts and prepares to join him in a world away from her home in Washington Territory. But Miss Hepplewhite’ s straitlaced finishing school was hardly preparation for the treacherous months at sea it takes to get there, the haunting loss she’ll face on the way, or the colorful characters and crude life that await her on the frontier.
Synopsis
Jane Peck is a nineteenth-century girl with a mind of her own and a handsome suitor who loves her for it. She's outwitted wild animals, vengeful ghosts, and a disloyal fiance, but when her finishing school nemesis, Sally Biddle, invades the Washington Territory, Jane finds everything she holds dear threatened -- including her true love, a rakish sailor named Jehu.
As the Biddles of Philadelphia charm their way into Jane's frontier community, it will take all of the spunk and spit she can muster to protect her land and preserve her dreams. Will Jane's claim on happiness slip away?
Synopsis
Miss Jane Peck tries to leave her reckless ways and be recognized as a proper young woman. But as she embarks to the frontier with the handsome William Baldt, she will need more than just finishing school to survive.
