Outrageous Desire

IT IS THE SUMMER OF 1874 AND ELIZABETH STANTON HARTE HAS A PROBLEM.

When Jared Inman of San Francisco claims to have traveled three thousand miles to see her, Beth—Vassar graduate, suffragette and reformer—is both delighted and outraged by his audacity. Then the rumors begin to fly: Jared is an outlaw, a murderer, a spy for the railroad cartel. In short, he stands against everything she stands for. Beth's outrage grows—but so does her love for the charming, handsome Mr. Inman. Not above some outrageous behavior herself, Beth follows Jared across the bustling nation—from Saratoga Springs to St. Louis and finally to San Francisco—determined to find a solution to her OUTRAGEOUS DESIRE.
