For Want of a Father Hazel Hart

Fathers, Daughters, and Expectations In 1859, half-sisters Lucy and Cordelia travel by stagecoach from Westport, Missouri to Kansas Territory. Since their mother's death four years ago, both have lived with their aunt. Now Lucy's father wants her home. For Lucy, 13, it is a dream come true. Cordelia, 17, chaperones Lucy on the trip home, then continues on the stage to Denver to search for the father she has never met. Her expectations are low, but she can't stop the occasional dream. Will either father live up to his daughter's expectations, or will each break his daughter's heart?
