Bachelor Girl — Roger Lea MacBride

Pioneer for the New Century

Meet Rose Wilder, Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter, and the last of the Little House girls.

Rose is leaving Rocky Ridge Farm for good. She heads off for San Francisco to join the growing ranks of "bachelor girls": young women who are earning their own living outside the home. Rose's dream is to work a year or two, save a little money, and marry Paul Cooley, her childhood sweetheart. But the big city has all sorts of surprises in store for Rose. . . .
