About This Book

A lively comic romance traces a spirited young woman traveling with her affluent parents through Western landscapes who grows attracted to one of the local guides, provoking anxious worry in her father and bemused responses from her mother. The episodes contrast polished urban manners with frontier roughness, combine humorous family dialogue and social observation, and unfold amid scenic travel, romantic entanglement, and lighthearted cultural misunderstandings.
