Miranda is an executive, the owner of a bank, carries a gun in her purse, kills a man, and falls in love with a gambler. What’s different about Miranda? She lives in the late 1800s.

Miranda wasn’t like other young girls in Boston; she was a fighter, a strong-willed young woman, with a quick Irish temper, even growing up a mummied-up, pampered child. She had everything a young woman in the 19th century could dream of: money, lived in a mansion, and had servants to see to her every whim, but that wasn’t enough.

Loneliness, her only albatross, wasn’t winning. She followed her dream, left her safe home in Boston, and rode the Transcontinental Railroad to San Francisco.

Her dreams along the way became twisted, falling in love with a forbidden love.

This is Miranda’s journal, her travels, her dreams, her happiness, and her sorrows.
