Janet S. Fox’s debut novel for young adults, FAITHFUL, is a romance, mystery and adventure set in the Gilded Age. Ms. Fox’s heroine, Maggie Bennet, loses her mother in a tragic accident, and then is forced to accept her father’s desire to leave their high society life in Newport, RI, and move to the American west. They relocate to the Greater Yellowstone, where Maggie searches for herself and for love, while her courage and determination are tested in an astonishing and dangerous environment.

The planned sequel to FAITHFUL follows Maggie as she is forced to return to Newport and an arranged marriage; now she yearns for her newly adopted western home. Her attempt to return to Yellowstone is tumultuous, and this sequel evokes the epic spirit of turn-of-the-century America.
