Caught in the tumult of World War I, Wall Street, and changing women’s roles, these two extraordinary women find that true fortune can’t be bought or sold…
All’s fair in love and war, and Sophie is determined to win the battle for her aunt Maud’s cattle ranch – even if it means fighting Elijah, a rude ex-military man. But it seems that even from the grave Aunt Maud is still matchmaking; her will states that both Sophie and Elijah must share the ranch evenly, and neither wants to give up a share…
Young Jane Young is a smart, funny, and moving novel about what it means to be a woman of any age, and captures not just the mood of our recent highly charged political season, but also the double standards alive and well in every aspect of life for women.
