Description

SHE'S DOING FINE, OKLAHOMA At the turn of the 20th century, life isn't easy for women growing up on the plains. Margy, a self-assured Kansas farm girl searching for independence, is disappointed when her plans to attend college fail to materialize. Picking herself up, she sets out to start a new life in the Oklahoma Territory as a teacher in a country school, but never forgets her dream of pursuing a higher education. This intriguing historical novel traces Margy's life in the early days of Oklahoma's settlement -- the land rush, the oil boom, statehood and the Great Depression. Margy faces joy and tragedy alike with the resilience and stoicism of Scarlet O'Hara.
