My Darlin' Clementine

(4) 4-6 In this story set in 1860s Idaho (and inspired by the titular song), Clementine, smart and lovely, is determined to make something of herself. However, she's forced to make choices that, seemingly, lead to tragedy. Though the characters are types (spunky little sister, obedient mother, too-good-to-be-true Chinese servant who saves the day), the story provides a creative take on frontier life.
