In the late 1800’s, Mayme Watson boards a train bound for Eagle Rock, Idaho. What she finds there is the start of a new life. Disillusioned by her parents and completely alone, she finds a place to stay and a job to support herself. When Mayme discovers that most of the girls in town are just biding their time until they can marry, her heart calls for a change. She embarks on an adventure to overcome her feelings of failure. And what a change that is. She disguises herself as a boy and manages to hire on as a Post Rider for the United States Postal Service.
Follow along with Mayme on her often dangerous journeys as she discovers that waiting for the future is not an option.
This book is for young and old and all those who dreamed of living back in the days of the Wild West.
"I loved how the author built up the story. I loved her vividly depicted and wonderful detailed world and therefore I had no trouble visualizing the scenes and the captivating people Mayme meets along the story. The author is a great lover of pristine nature and that's very noticeable in this story and I greatly appreciate that. Mayme is a truly inspiring woman, a brave young woman and her journey is dangerous and exciting. I highly recommend this great adventure." — Loek Krancher, Goodreads review
