You will enjoy this book if you like lively western romances, quick-tongued heroines, ranch life with cars and cowboys side by side, and stories where a kind act changes the people around it.
Worum es in diesem Buch geht
Picture a young cowboy stepping off an eastbound train, his eyes bright with joy and shadowed by despair at once. His name is Jo Gary, and he has spent ten days in Chicago on a cattle deal. Two of those days belonged to a girl in a plain white dress, and then she told him she was a thief and vanished.
Penny of Top Hill Trail is a western romance by Belle Kanaris Maniates. It follows a tiny, sharp-tongued prisoner and the stern foreman who drives her to a ranch called Top Hill Tavern, hoping a kind woman there can teach her to want to be honest. The girl has a gift for disguise, and Kurt never knows which Pen is real. You get banter, rough riding, a runaway horse, and a second chance told with warmth.

A cowboy loses his heart in Chicago
Kurt Walters, foreman of a ranch in the hill country, waits at the station for young Jo Gary. Jo springs off the train in a blue serge suit and checked cap, still a cowpuncher underneath. As they speed along in the ranch's racing car, Kurt sees a strange light in his eyes, joy and despair mixed together. Jo swears he did not touch a drink or a card. He wants to tell his friend what did happen.
Jo's story begins in Hurricane Hall, a rough dance place. Among fierce-looking women, he spots a small girl in a simple white dress sitting alone. He tells her she is in the wrong pew, and she says the same goes for him. They dance every number at Reilly's, and she wants to hear all about ranches and cowboys. The next day they ride a lake steamer to St. Joe. Jo buys violets, and she says no one has ever bought her flowers. On the deck at night he kisses her. In a small city park he asks her to marry him. She says she loves him too much to say yes, and then she tells him she is a thief.
She describes a cruel stepmother, a reform school, and charities that gave her advice and no help. Jo does not care. He says her life begins now. But the next morning a street girl hands him a note, and the girl in white has gone. Kurt answers that once a thief, always a thief. Weeks later Kurt hears that a girl named Marta Sills sits in the town jail, and he quietly sends Jo off to a neighbor's ranch.
Real affection looks at who a person is trying to become, not only at what is written in the record.
