About this audiobook
When a wealthy but unrefined rancher moves his family from the sprawling western plains to an elite Chicago neighborhood, a clash of cultures becomes inevitable. Desperate to see his daughter accepted into high society, he watches helplessly as the snobbish elite close their doors to them. However, a mysterious gentleman living in the adjacent estate soon complicates their social ambitions and matters of the heart. Secrets are unraveled as genuine western grit confronts the shallow pretensions of urban aristocracy. Ultimately, true nobility is proven by character rather than pedigree.
