The Women of Swan's Nest series . . .

We all know the story of the ugly duckling. The poor little bird thinks its unlovable until time and experience transform it into a beautiful swan. That's the idea behind this series about a group of women living at a Denver boardinghouse in the 1870s. The books are loosely related, but the stories definitely stand alone.
