The Harvey Girl is the first book in Dana Stabenow’s Clare Wright series, set in the era of westward expansion and the railroad boom. Clare Wright finds work at one of the Harvey House restaurants that served travelers along the rail lines, a job that put young women at the center of frontier commerce and culture.
Stabenow turns her attention from Alaska and ancient Egypt to the American West with this new series. The Harvey Houses were real institutions that played a significant role in civilizing the railroad towns, and Stabenow uses that setting to tell a story about independence and opportunity in a rapidly changing country.
