Song of the Heart

by Nellie Morris

Diana Merideth sat on a train in 1905 as it travelled toward the Big Bend of Texas. She thought about her childhood in Boston, the stage career she left in New York, and Jules Baker, the dashing star of her company. She had resolved to put the heartbreak of Jules behind and and start a new life with Texas cowboy and farmer Eric Gibbs . . . or at least give it a try for a year. Little did she know what faced her in the coming months—cattle rustlers, mountain lions, a cattle stampede, a prairie fire, and much, much more. The physical rigors of her new life were nothing compared to trying to be accepted by her neighbors who had never spoken with a city person before. And in the end she would be forced to make the heart-wrenching decision ot staying on the isolated farm with Eric or returning to the theatre with Jules.
