Elizabeth Wright Freeman was the widow of William Bogle Freeman who carried on the family publishing tradition, serving for many years as President of Miller Freeman Publications in San Francisco. The author wrote two biographies about Western publishers, her husband's grandfather and father. The first, INDEPENDENCE IN ALL THINGS, NEUTRALITY IN NOTHING, is about a pioneer publisher, Legh R. Freeman, who carried his press in a covered wagon as the Union Pacific built its line between Fort Kearney, Nebraska and Ogden, Utah. The second, MILLER FREEMAN, MAN OF ACTION, deals with the trade magazine publishing career of her father-in-law in the Pacific Northwest. The author, who lived in Moraga, CA, was long active in civic and political affairs in her community. [from "About the author"] The book offered here appears to be a novel about a Bulgarian girl, Vanya Bodova, who in 1937 was torn between ambition to obtain a graduate degree from Millard College in California and regret at parting from Steffen Benechov, her fiance, but makes the hard decision to leave her love and her country. [from the Synopsis]. Signed by Author(s).
