Eighteen-year-old Hazel treks from 1867 Boston to her new position as schoolmistress in Texas. She surprises stagecoach robbers, as she'd prepared for just such perils. Her new life brings adventure and romance, as community building challenges her to ponder second chances, secrets, limitations, a choice not to know, and considerable scheming to achieve what's important in matters of the heart and civic pride.
