Title: The Girl at White Drift
Description: When orphaned Jerry Lake set off alone, all the way to her unknown guardian’s farm in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, she was full of hopes for the future. All her life she had longed for someone of her own, for a place where she would really belong. But those hopes were soon dashed when she met Dave Farren and found, incredibly, that he had assumed she was a boy - and was furiously angry when he discovered his mistake. Much as she resented his attitude, though, Jerry had no choice but to stay on at White Drift - though the situation was not helped by the arrival of a sophisticated French widow, with her sights firmly on Dave, and her bland assumption that Jerry would now lose no time in making herself scarce. Was there no one, anywhere, Jerry thought forlornly, who would ever want her?
