What did it take for a woman from the east to become a rancher or the wife of a rancher on the Kansas prairie in 1888? In the book, A Hopeful Heart, by Kim Vogel Sawyer, Hattie Wyatt, a widow in Barnett, Kansas decides to open Wyatt Herdsman School. Wyatt Herdsman School offers a one-of-a-kind program that will teach young women from the East the skills necessary to be either a successful rancher or the wife of a successful rancher.

The inaugural class at Wyatt Herdsman School includes twenty-two-year-old Tressa Neill, who is desperate as a dowryless orphan and has been forced into the program by her aunt and uncle. Shy, small and unaccustomed to the rigors of ranch life, Tressa has no idea how she will be able to endure the Wyatt school curriculum, which was developed to expose the young women to all aspects of ranch life. The curriculum includes milking a cow, branding a calf, riding a horse, birthing animals, driving a wagon, and cooking up a mess of grub for a bunch of hungry ranch hands. While learning all the basics taught in the school, Tressa realizes she also must learn to stand up for herself, determine what love is and isn’t, and understand what her faith means.
