1855: The unknown wilds of the Pacific Northwest--a land not yet tamed, and certainly not fitting for a proper young lady! Yet that's just where Miss Jane Peck finds herself. After a tumultuous childhood on the wrong side of Philadelphia high society, Jane is trying to put aside her reckless ways and be accepted as a proper young lady. And so when handsome William Baldt proposes, she joyfully accepts and prepares to join him in a world away from her home in Washington Territory.
But Miss Hepplewhite's straitlaced finishing school was hardly preparation for the treacherous months at sea it takes to get there, the haunting loss she'll face on the way, or the colorful characters and crude life that await her on the frontier. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The first book that I read that I really enjoyed as a youth was [b:The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle 310146 The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle Avi https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348243806l/310146.SY75.jpg 997358] by [a:Avi 1240 Jack London https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1508674808p2/1240.jpg]. It was a girls adventure in being something other than what she was expected and surviving across the sea and into the wild lands of the new Americas. When I saw this cover with a girl and a ship I was excited! It is a youth book, but even in my 20's I enjoyed this book. A girl ripped from her normal European Society life and thrust into life on a ship and then in the new Americas, here it just happens to be Boston. Love it!
