by Rose Walker

In the 1880s, a woman of good character could still exchange a dreary life in New York City for a new start with a respectable job in the Western Territories. Alta Belle Carlton finds her background as a merchant’s daughter a big help as she and her companions struggle to make new friends and earn a place in the booming coal town of Black Butte in what will one day be the state of New Mexico.

But more awaits them than just surviving misadventures. Romance blooms where it was least expected as they become True Women of the West!
