The eighth and final installment in the Rose Years series, which tells
the story of the spirited daughter of the author of the beloved Little
House series.
Rose Wilder has become an independent young woman. She leaves Rocky
Ridge Farm, first for Kansas City to learn how to be a telegrapher, then
for San Francisco. Her dream is to work for a year or two, save a little
money, and then marry Paul Cooley, her childhood sweetheart. But the big
city has all sorts of surprises in store for Rose, and she finds that
she's destined to travel a road she never even imagined.
