As her baby grows into a young girl, Sarah sends her to the safety and refinement of a boarding school.

" Probably the best of the Women Of The West series. At least it was far more interesting. I did think the girl was way too immature to even know if she was in love, but other than that, it was a good story. "
— Kristy, 10/3/2012 -
" This was a cute story, but after all of the building up, I felt like it just ended abruptly, and everything was resolved in 4 pages. It was a little anti-climactic. "
— Jamie, 9/20/2012 -
