Summary: An enjoyable read!
Review: When I started this book I did not imagine how much I would like it. The characters are portrayed beautifully and are not always what they appear to be. Jane Peck cares very much about becoming a refined young lady. She sets off on a voyage by boat where her fiance William is waiting. At first you think William is a perfect gentlemen and perfect for Jane, but you begin to dislike him when you find out he has somewhat deserted Jane. Meanwhile Jane is forced to live amoung the Indians which teaches her a lot about life and herself. Jehu the shipmate from Jane's voyage stays too and falls in love with Jane. Jane likes him too, but must remain faithful to William. In the end she must choose between them a decision in which her happiness is concerned. This was a wonderful tale that anyone would enjoy.

In the mean time, she falls in love with her fathers's apprentice, William Baldt, who has dreams of sailing, exploring the frontier and starting a lumber business. He leaves Jane, and keeps in touch with her by letters. Finally, he proposes, and she decides to leave for Washington Territory, much to the disapproval of her father.
