Published 1983. Pre-teen Melinda, an orphan with loving Aunt and Uncle, sets out from Illinois on a journey by train to get her big sister married off in Californis. But things start going wrong in Colorado and Melinda, always self-sufficient and adventurous, needs every ounce of her persipicacity to get it all set right. Fun, thought-provoking, and a page-turner.
