Under a Copper Moon
Portrait of a Mail-Order Bride, Jerome, Arizona Territory, 1894
In the 1890s, a young woman finds herself alone and hopeless after her mother dies, then she discovers adventure in a newspaper ad.
After a long train ride across the country, Inez meets her future husband who paid for her trip to the mining town of Jerome in the Arizona Territory.
Their plans are destroyed when a mining accident kills her husband-to-be. Again, Inez finds herself on her own and her prospects bleak until she encounters the ladies of Onalees parlor house.
A story of grit, daring, perseverance, and a splash of Lady Marmalade in the late Victorian era when men were strong and women were supposed to be coy and quiet
But no one could convince Inez of that.
