The Plainswoman

by Irene Bennett Brown

Book Overview

Amity Whitford dared stake her own claim on the plains of western Kansas. She built her own homestead with her bare hands and tamed the wild lands. Then she set her sights on politics, running for election as the county school superintendent.

Absolutely Wonderful

This book is one of the best books that I have ever read! It starts off with a woman who wakes up and cant remember what happened and why she is thrown out onto the streets; this entices the reader to find out more about this pitiful and abused creature. It then goes to her struggles to obtain land and to keep it. She meets and falls in love with the newspaper man but has to find out about her past before she can go towards the future. The story was absolutely refreshing and I am happy that I came across it. For years I was wondering and thinnking up of books and I came across this book that had everything that I wanted. I urge and encourage all of you to read it.
