How does Maggie Osborne do it?
The conflict of the story is simple: one successful father dies and creates a contest in his will -- if his 3 good-for-nothing daughters (who couldn't tell a longhorn from a cow) can conduct a 700 mile cattle drive to Abilene, Kansas (and get there with 2000 head of live cattle), they can inherit their father's fabulous wealth.
Otherwise, the dead rancher's 4th wife will inherit everything! She is a beautiful woman (of course) with a history of deception and thievery. She also has a plan to sabotage the cattle drive!
The SISTERS/DAUGHTERS: Frederick, Alexander and Leslie - can't stand each other.
Did I mention that their father was always disappointed that he hadn't sired sons?
What kind of a nut would take the job of trail boss under these awful conditions? Only a man with lots to prove ... and a lost reputation.
Thus begins a great story. Enjoy!
