"The Ranch Girls at Rainbow Lodge" by Margaret Vandercook is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work features the adventures of Jacqueline "Jack" Ralston and her sisters, Frieda and Jean, as they navigate life on their family ranch in Wyoming. The narrative focuses on themes of friendship, independence, and rivalry, particularly as they deal with their complex relationship with the Norton family who lives nearby. At the start of the story, we meet Jacqueline as she finds herself lost while out riding, leading to a confrontation with Dan Norton, a boy from the neighboring ranch who displays hostility towards her. Shortly afterward, she encounters Frank Kent, a newcomer who makes an impression on her. The plot quickly thickens when Jacqueline's sister Frieda spots an Indian girl being pursued by an angry old woman, leading to a tense rescue. The three ranch girls take the runaway, named Olilie, into their home, which sets off a series of events that explore their values, the tension with the Nortons, and the challenges they face managing the ranch while welcoming this new friend.
