When adventurers and settlers migrated west, most found adjusting to a new life a challenge and a source of conflictbetween what they knew and what was unknown in their new land.  The author of  "Written in the Cards" describes awoman who left her eastern home escaping a pending marriage she could not embrace to follow her instincts of a writerto the prairie frontier of Kansas.  The man she meets and falls for is both a cattle driver and a gentleman gambler.This story is about family responsibilities and relationships formed and sustained through tense struggles with the rawrealities of the emerging west.  A good read.
