SHE IS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST SCULPTRESS Of THE GILDED AGE
Spirited Vinnie Ream might have been driven from her prairie home to the political hotbed of Washington City by the outbreak of the Civil War. But despite her plainspoken ways and western twang, she’s a survivor, and nothing will stop her from pursuing her art in a world dominated by men.
UNTIL DISASTER STRIKES
But on the cusp of success, all her dreams come tumbling down. With her family destitute and her sister threatened, she does the unthinkable. Can she claw her way back to the top or will she go down in history as a failure?
A biographical historical novel about the power of family ties, the pursuit of fame, and the pain of unrequited love, based on the life of 19th century American sculptor, Vinnie Ream Hoxie.

My Thoughts
Prairie Cinderella: Vinnie Ream and the Gilded Age (Forgotten Women) is Book 3 of 3 of the series that is written by Joan Koster. This is a new to me author and I enjoyed this book very much. I love Vinnie Ream. She’s spunky, has very progressive views, and definitely shook things up.
The story is written in first person which is some of my favorite ways. I love getting to see/read the inner thoughts. She finds herself in the political hotbed of Washington City. We’re in the outbreak of the Civil War.
Vinnie is a sculptress. Which I found so interesting. I wasn’t familiar with all the terms and I felt the author did a great job in bringing us into this realm. She’s getting a bit of a culture shock coming from the Midwest to Washington. I love that she interacted with several historical figures.
The author has also created a detailed explanation and descriptions of our backdrop that you can close your eyes and watch it all unfold.
Thank you to the author, publisher and Book and Wine Lovers Marketing for allowing me to read a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
