O Pioneers! by Willa Cather
4.0

Cather had such a gift for portraying frontier life, and in this novel she gives us a wonderful, strong heroine. Alexandra Bergson grows up in the prairie lands of Nebraska and as an adult, she turns her family’s land into prosperous farming operation. Her brothers benefit from her strong mind for business but resent her as well.
