Judith of the Godless Valley

When Judith tags along on a mail delivery that Doug was appointed to do, he grudgingly welcomes her company. Unfortunately for them, after they've bedded down for the evening, they hear a shot in the night.

Lydia of the Pines
Lydia of the Pines By Honoré Morrow
Lydia of the Pines
They are as poor as a family can be, among those rolling northern hills. Amos and his girls, Lydia and Patience -- with the hired help Lizzie whom Amos can barely afford -- scrape out a meager living on the edge of a town nestled among maple-edged farmlands. But Lydia is as rich with life as the motherless family is poor of pennies. With her friend Kent and even the spoiled Margery she finds play and joy aplenty. Troubles loom ahead, though: sickness, worries, and debts -- and then political turmoil so fierce it threatens to tear the community apart -- and that even more direly threatens the nearby Indians on their ancestral lands. Lydia has no choice but to face the difficulties as they arrive. Yet it is when she learns about the old pine woods, and takes to heart what they mean, that she moves at last, and forever, beyond girlhood.
The Heart of the Desert
Honor Willsie Morrow was an Iowa native with a love of history. She spent ten years researching Abraham Lincoln and produced the Great Captain trilogy -- "Forever Free" (1927), "With Malice Toward None" (1928) and "The Last Full Measure" (1930). She wrote Western stories and for "Collier"'s and "Harper's Weekly," and was editor of a woman's magazine called "The Delineator" from 1914 to 1919. In "The Heart of the Desert," the subject is inter-racial romance. Ruth Clifford has come to the desert seeking a cure for her melancholia. She meets Kut-Le, an educated Indian, and a friendship blossoms when he saves her from a tarantula. He offers to take her into the desert and cure her, but racial prejudice forces her to reject him and state they are not to meet again. He kidnaps her instead, taking her to the desert to effect a cure, while a posse is formed to find her. Will the ending be the triumph of love over prejudice, or the tragedy of loss and death due to misunderstanding?
