About this eBook

Author Hankins, Arthur Preston, 1880-1932
Title The She Boss: A Western Story
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "The She Boss: A Western Story" by Arthur Preston Hankins is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in a rustic California landscape, it explores themes of ambition, social class, and personal development through the journey of Hiram Hooker, a young man leaving his secluded life in Bear Valley to find his place in the world. The narrative hints at Hiram's struggles with his identity and desires, as well as his interactions with the enigmatic Lucy Dalles. At the start of the story, we meet Uncle Sebastian Burris, who confronts Hiram about his reputation for laziness and urges him to leave Bear Valley for a fresh start in San Francisco. Hiram is initially resistant but realizes he must take action to fulfill his potential. After some emotional reflection, he decides to accept his uncle's tough love and embarks on his journey to the city, where he encounters new experiences, a vibrant environment, and Lucy, a fellow local with aspirations of her own. This opening sets the stage for Hiram's transformation from a life of stifling familiarity to one filled with opportunity and self-discovery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
