This is a young adult story about a 13 year old girl who grew up picking pockets on the streets of New York City who gets sold, or rather indentured, with Lizzie to a ranch in Pendleton, Oregon.
I would recommend this book for those looking for a strong female protagonist in a young adult story. Some drug use described in the morphine addictions of the soldiers returning from war.
