Summary
Mattie Wallace is rejected by her family and her community when she refuses to marry one brother - because, she loves the other. Labeled a trollop and run out of town, she finds herself on the road with meager possessions and little money.
Soon, Mattie meets Roxana: a woman in the trade. Mattie is impressed with Roxie's confidence, independence, her lovely wardrobe, and also with the fact that Roxie has made herself a life that is not dictated by a man.
Mattie joins Roxie on her way to a new and profitable life in the west, where women are few and men are willing to pay for their company. Making her way to Abilene, Kansas - a cow town where cowboys spend their money on whiskey and women - Mattie soon learns the ways of the women in the trade and the hazards of the west.
