(3) 4-6 Elderly suffragist Josie challenges thirteen-year-old Pearl to learn the true story behind the Colorado legend of Silverheels, the "virtuous woman" who nursed miners during the smallpox epidemic. While digging into the past, Pearl learns to see beyond the superficial--in the legend and in her own relationships. Through Pearl's perspective Mobley educates readers on World War I–era prejudices and realities for women.
