Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the late 1870s, many young teachers traveled West to earn money and make a new life for themselves. However, the schools were inadequate at best, and many teachers returned home, unable to endure the hardships of prairie life. But Sarah Jane Pryce stayed, braving the rough conditions of the West. Illustrations. 208.
Following her father's death from a disease that swept through her Nebraska town in 1881, teenaged Sarah Jane must find work to support herself and records in her diary her experiences as a young school teacher.
