 Amazon.com: Boston Jane Series: An Adventure: Books: Jennifer L. Holm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Holm cleverly weaves in lessons from Jane's Philadelphia finishing school, Miss Hepplewhite's Young Ladies Academy, in dramatic and often-hilarious contrast to the trials and tribulations Jane faces at sea and in Oregon country.

This is the first novel I have ever read by Jennifer L. Holm and I must say I have become a quick fan of her.
