Frontier Lady
Book 1 of the Lone Star Legacy series
398 pages · First published 1993
Deborah Graham heads west carrying the expectations and limitations of a nineteenth-century woman entering frontier society. The journey and settlement expose her to political, family, and romantic conflicts that make survival about more than physical endurance. Relationships formed in the West challenge the assumptions she brought from a more settled world. Judith Pella’s historical Christian fiction combines pioneer experience, faith, and romance around a heroine learning that becoming a frontier lady requires adaptability as much as refinement.
