The weekly mail had just arrived at the Flying U ranch. Shorty, who had made the trip to Dry Lake on horseback that afternoon, tossed the bun dle to the Old Man and was halfway to the stable when he was called back peremptorily. I read this book when I was in the third grade. I went to a country school where all grades were in the same room and our library was in a small metal cabinet. My lifetime love of reading was born in that little school and I read every book in it's library. This wonderful book had a young girl's heart hurting and in tears for the innocence of the people and their interactions. I couldn't believe it was the same book but there it was in Kindle Unlimited. A book I never forgot and I am 87 years old.

The weekly mail had just arrived at the Flying U ranch. Shorty, who had made the trip to Dry Lake on horseback that afternoon, tossed the bundle to the "Old Man" and was halfway to the stable when he was called back peremptorily. "Shorty! O-h-h, Shorty! Hi!" Shorty kicked his steaming horse in the ribs and swung round in the path, bringing up before the porch with a jerk. "Where's this letter been?" demanded the Old Man, with some excitement. James G. Whitmore, cattleman, would have been greatly surprised had he known that his cowboys were in the habit of calling him the Old Man behind his back. James G. Whitmore did not consider himself old, though he was constrained to admit, after several hours in the saddle, that rheumatism had searched him out-because of his fourteen years of roughing it, he said. Also, there was a place on the crown of his head where the hair was thin, and growing thinner every day of his life, though he did not realize it. The thin spot showed now as he stood in the path, waving a square envelope aloft before Shorty, who regarded it with supreme indifference.

In this classic and timeless Western romance novel, Della Whitmore, a young doctor, comes West to visit her brother’s Montana Flying U ranch after graduating from medical school. The boys at the Flying U didn’t like the idea of a woman around them, even if she was just coming out to spend the summer. And there was nothing worse for the boys at the ranch than to share their lives with a woman who had just received a medical degree. Despite some difficult beginnings, Chip Bennett, one of the main hands at the ranch, will start developing feelings for the bright and beautiful Della. When Chip is injured in an accident, Della takes care of Chip and discovers his hidden artistic talent. In spite of Della’s and Chip’s frequent misunderstandings and clashes, a romantic atmosphere starts to develop.
