| Summary |
"The Girl from Sunset Ranch; Or, Alone in a Great City" by Amy Bell Marlowe is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Helen Morrell, a sturdy and independent 16-year-old girl who manages Sunset Ranch following the death of her father. As she grieves, Helen grapples with the responsibilities of ranch life, her father's mysterious past, and her desire for a refined existence, ultimately deciding to travel to New York City to connect with relatives she has never met. The opening of the novel introduces us to Helen as she rides her beloved pony, reflecting on her father's death and the memories they shared at the scenic View on their ranch. Following a close encounter with a reckless rider who falls off a cliff, Helen begins to demonstrate her resourcefulness and courage as she helps the injured man, Dudley Stone. This incident leads to a friendship where Helen shares her dreams and determination to clear her father's name of the dishonor that plagued him. While preparing for her journey to New York, Helen's inner strength and yearning for a life beyond the ranch become clear, setting the stage for her challenges in the great city ahead.
