It isnt easy being a pioneer in the state of Washington in 1899 but its 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 cant seem to abide her familys insistence that she behave like a Proper Young Lady.

Shes sure she could do better if only there were at least one other girl living along the banks of the Nasel River. And now that Mamas going to have a baby maybe theres hope.

Inspired by the diaries of her greataunt the real May Amelia firsttime novelist Jennifer Holm has given us a beautifully crafted tale of one young girl whose unique spirit captures the courage humour passion and depth of the American pioneer experience.
