Read the excerpt from "New Land, New Life."

"Nonsense," said Ruth sternly. "The nearest town is a week away by horseback. With all due respect, Mr. Thorpe, you’re in homesteading country now. We take care of our own. There isn’t a homesteader within one hundred miles of here who has survived these parts without jumping at the chance for help when it’s offered."

Mr. Thorpe nodded uncomfortably. Ruth could see that he was a man who was used to having control over a situation. This was a possibility in the bigger cities, but out here on the prairie, there was no such thing.
