title: All about Allyson
author: Moss, Betty Halstead
description: Allyson Adams, an ambitious young woman of the 1890s, embarks on an exciting adventure when she fails to qualify for law school. Rebelling against tradition and her suppressive, manipulating mother, she chooses to join her friend in her quest to become a teacher. Complicating the situation, Allyson's sister dies in childbirth. Her mother interferes and her threats result in the disappearance of the sister's husband and child. Allyson's courage is inspiring as she captivates a small town in East Texas and meets difficult challenges with valor. Her skills with the law resurface when a murder occurs, and a Texas Ranger arrives to investigate. When introduced to the officer, Allyson faints in a state of shock. The twists in events that follow combine with intrigue and romance to develop another successful historical romance from the pen of Betty Halstead Moss.
