Sommario/riassunto

East meets West in this classic novel from acclaimed writer Emerson Hough. After spending her entire life on a cattle ranch in the wide-open West, a young woman named Bonnie Bell Wright moves to a genteel community in the Northeast U.S. to find a suitable husband, along with her cantankerous father and a salt-of-the-earth farm hand named Curly, the narrator of the tale.
