This gorgeously written historical novel follows Dulcy, a young woman in 1904 who attempts to flee her late father's business problemsand her violent ex-fiance's graspby traveling west and posing as a wealthy widow. Entertainment Weekly

This novel from the daughter of Jim Harrison features a character set loose to wander the American West at the turn of the 20th century, a woman whose early experiences seem drawn from the worldly peregrinations of the era of Henry James. Sweeping and richly hued . . . Harrison has rendered her imagined world anachronistically, but Henry James might still have approved. The New York Times Book Review
