Foxfire

During the Great Depression, sheltered New York socialite Amanda Lawrence falls in love with Jonathan Dartland, a part-Apache mining engineer who belongs to the vastness of the Arizona desert. Amanda responds to his strength and self-reliance, but has nothing and nobody to guide her when she follows him to the grim town of Lodestone, a place which will either make their fortune—or tear their marriage apart. First published in 1950, this novel by the author of My Theodosia was adapted five years later into the Jane Russell film of the same name.
