"A Sagebrush Cinderella" by Max Brand is a story set in the American West about a young woman named Jac During, whose life straddles the hard facts of the wild frontier and the exciting chivalry she reads about in books. The story looks at what it means to find yourself, the roles people play in society, and how to accept who you are when society has certain expectations. Jac is a tough, independent girl who secretly dreams about romance and adventure, but she feels she is not as beautiful as other girls, especially Dolly Maxwell, who she sees as a rival. The plot follows how she deals with her feelings for Maurice Gordon, a handsome cowboy she calls Sir Maurice de Gordon in her imagination, and how she meets the rough, but interesting, Bill Carrigan. After some funny and emotional events, including a crazy dance where she really stands out, Jac changes and learns to love who she is. By the end, the story shows that real beauty comes from who you are inside, not from how you look.
