Gabrielle

by Mary Francis Shura

Sixteen-year-old Gabrielle Prentice is a showboat performer who has lived on a showboat all her life. She's always dreamed of living on land, rather than on a river. She gets her chance to see what it's like when she meets David Wesley and is invited to spend a week on his family's farm.
