<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Lily Paxton is a child of the 1880s Oklahoma territories, born to a poor gypsy mother and a wealthy mine-owning father. She rides the prairies and the grasslands making friends with the foreman's son at her father's mine and a Native American boy she meets in the ancient Cross Timbers forest. But, when she reaches sixteen she is sent east to her father's wealthy family and a finishing school where she will prepare for courtship with wealthy young men or perhaps even a European noble. But, when a chance happening calls her back to Oklahoma she finds she must choose between a return to the east and a life of wealth and privilege or the hard life in a territory not yet a state. The choice she makes will not only determine her own future but will help to determine the fate of a very young nation.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A front-row seat to the early days of the often inhospitable life in the Oklahoma territories...a wonderfully engrossing novel built with artful blending of historical facts, romance, creativity and well-devised characters...engaging literary fiction with a twist of history." --Lisa Brown-Gilbert, <i> Pacific Book Review</i><br><br>"Surasky creates a poignant unforgettable story of life at the rise of the Gilded Age juxtaposed with the plight of the disadvantaged in the rugged territory of Oklahoma.
