May Amelia is a tomboy growing up with lots of brothers along the Nasel river (Washington state) in the late 1800's. May is always getting into trouble and doesn't want to be the 'proper young lady' that folks seem to think she should. It's not all carefree fun for May, she works hard, and has to deal with some pretty heavy issues, but May Amelia is a vibrant character and the setting was interesting enough to keep me listening. Pretty good historical fiction.
