Thirteen-year-old Molly Gerry and her more aged sister Colleen's world is rocked when their father dies, departing them penniless. Their best hope appears to be departing their small Illinois town to work at a Harvey Eating House in Raton, New Mexico. Molly handles to seem 18 (the minimum amount Harvey Girl get older) in order to get the job and soon catches to the tempo of life next to the railroad songs. She is constantly on the struggle with the desire to return home and concerns about the actual fact that the outlaw Genius Jim continues to be on the loose. Inspired by the author's great-grandmother's activities, this historical bildungsroman shows life out western world in the later 1800s in every its flash and grittiness. Molly is a solidly attracted character, drawn more to cooking than portion and determined to be honest and reasonable in her work. The outlaws provide spice, and the love Molly tries to conjure up for Colleen gives humor. The ideals of education, courage, and straightforwardness all come together in this wonderful tale.
