Desperate to disappear, Flora Craigie claims a homestead on the beautiful but wild prairie and is astonished to find that all three of the nearest neighbours are also female. While battling both the brutal environment and the local cynicism toward female farmers, these women with their very different backgrounds are forced to come together when their homes are threatened . . .
A rollicking historical novel set in turn-of-the-century Alberta about a young woman on the run and her quest to find a home in the wild west, Finding Flora is an engaging and educational novel that makes an ideal choice for fans of Anna North's Outlawed and/or Jojo Moyes' Giver of Stars.
“Elinor Florence has vividly captured the struggle of her female characters to forge a life for themselves against daunting odds at a time in Canadian history when life for so many people was physically very hard and rigid demarcations separated both class and gender.” -- Maureen Jennings, bestselling author of the 'Murdoch Mysteries' series
