Summary

"Life in 1880 Tenmile, Colorado, isn't easy. But it's all that thirteen-year-old Sissy Carlson knows. She's lived there her whole life, watching her father, the local doctor, tend to the town's citizens. While the mountain setting is gorgeous, Tenmile is a rough gold-mining town where the line between life and death feels thin. Mining is a hard job; men are often hurt or even killed. Sissy sees the same thin line between the haves and the have-nots as she assists her father in his practice, seeing firsthand the personal and not-always-private struggles of his patients. Sissy is starting to think about where she might fit into the world beyond Tenmile. What opportunities might she find if she could just get away? What kind of future does Tenmile offer, especially for a girl?" --Book jacket
