Summary "The Ranch Girls and Their Heart's Desire" by Margaret Vandercook is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Jacqueline Ralston, now Lady Kent, who returns to her childhood home on the Rainbow ranch in Wyoming after the death of her husband. As she adjusts to her new life, tensions rise over her desire to remain independent and raise her son Jimmie without the constraints of aristocratic expectations. The opening of the book introduces Jack riding alongside Jim Colter as they survey the landscape of the ranch, where the beauty of the prairie contrasts with her internal struggle about her identity. Jack grapples with the difficulties of returning to a life she loves while managing her responsibilities as a mother and dealing with societal expectations. The chapter sets up various relationships, including her bond with Jim, who hopes for her to stay and help with the ranch, and hints at future conflicts as they ride off to confront a stampede that threatens Jimmie's safety. Through vivid descriptions and rich characterization, the reader is drawn into Jack’s challenges of reconciling her past and present, spurring interest in her journey ahead.
