Vibrant historic Yellowstone National Park comes to life in this romantic mystery about a man hiding the truth, braving the west to become something more--and the woman who must confront his deception. A man who can't read will never amount to anything--or so Nate Webber believes. But he takes a chance to help his family by signing up for the new Civilian Conservation Corps, skirting the truth about certain "requirements." Nate exchanges the harsh Brooklyn streets for the wilds of Yellowstone National Park, curious if the Eden-like wonderland can transform him as well. Elsie Brookes was proud to grow up as a ranger's daughter, but she longs for a future of her own. After four years serving as a maid in the park's hotels, she still hasn't saved enough money for her college tuition. A second job, teaching a crowd of rowdy men in the CCC camp, might be the answer, but when Elsie discovers Nate's secret, it puts his job as camp foreman in jeopardy. Tutoring leads to friendship and romance, until a string of suspicious fires casts a dark shadow over their relationship. Can they find answers before all of their dreams go up in smoke?

Elsie is working in the Yellowstone National Park to earn money to go to college. Her dream is to become a teacher. It's the time of the Great Depression and times are hard for everyone. But the president has come up with a program to help young men get work, and one of these young men is a fellow from Brooklyn named Nate who is set through the CCC to Yellowstone.
It's a story of romance and mystery and history and life in the early park. I love Yellowstone, and I enjoyed the details of life working in the parks in the 30s, but I figured out the plot early on, and that's never satisfying to me.
