This fictionalized biography provides the humorous and sometimes shocking answer to the age old question, "What happens when a spoiled, headstrong, eastern belle marries an equally temperamental Welshman and sets out to homestead on the Iowa prairie?"

Based on true historical and biographical events in the lives of the author's foster grandparents, the book presents a rollicking story of frontier romance set in the heartland of mid-nineteenth-century America.
