Eliza Lovell Tibbets (1825-1898) was an unusual woman for her time -- educated from a young age, divorced twice, and active in a variety of social causes, including abolition of slavery and campaigning for women's right to vote.

This book traces her life from her childhood in Cincinnati through love and loss until she finally found her paradise in a little town called Riverside.
