When seventeen-year-old Rose Wilder leaves home to train as a telegraph operator, she runs into financial and personal difficulties but is determined to make her own way. The second half of the book, in which Rose lands a lucrative job but falls in with a questionable group of friends, is less credible than the beginning, and the ending of the novel--which is also the conclusion of the series--is unsatisfying.
