Girl of My Dreams will take you through the days of covered wagons and Indian raids, plus bits of American history up to the end of the twentieth century.

Young readers who are used to electronic gadgets will be amazed at how people lived before we had electricity. Young Lena, aged twelve years old, was forced to support and care for an ill mother, and a young sister and brother. Her father was killed in an accident while building a dam in New Mexico. Her mother later remarried a strict and controlling man. As Lena grew older, she moved in with her married sister to escape her stepfather. This is when she met Bert. Bert was orphaned at the age of six. He ran away when he was fourteen and sailed around the world for two years. This was a time that forced him to grow up quickly. When he went to New Mexico to visit his brother, he met Lena. The two met, fell in love and married. The experiences of their lives make up many of the stories of their ancestry, their adventures with early automobiles, open-cockpit airplanes, steamships, and true tales about flash floods, circus days, plus a scary adventure with a horse and a bobcat. You will read many cute, whimsical, and heartfelt stories within these pages.
