![]() ![]() Though Aubrey’s shotgun approach to betrothal - grab and kiss, importune for the rest - puts her off, she’s physically attracted. Having read Jane Austen, Mary Pearl has heard that a woman needs a wealthy husband to succeed in life. Just before she leaves, however, Aubrey Hannah, a handsome, moneyed, citified lawyer, proposes marriage. What’s more, she dreams of being an artist, and against her mother’s wishes, enrolls in Wheaton College in Chicago to study art. Mary Pearl can also speak her mind - sometimes - and can draw, which sets her even further apart. She can ride, shoot, and rope, which, in the Arizona Territory of 1907, would seem pretty usual, except that few other young women of her acquaintance can do likewise, or care to. Mary Pearl Prine isn’t your average seventeen-year-old. ![]() ![]() Review: Light Changes Everything, by Nancy E. ![]()
