It's 1894 and a young woman finds herself alone and hopeless after her mother dies, then she discovers adventure in a newspaper ad.
After a long train ride across the country, Inez meets her future husband Josiah who paid for her trip to the mining town of Jerome in the Arizona Territory. Before the wedding, she boards with Sam and Lottie, Josiah's friends. Being a true Victorian age woman, Lottie decides to mold Inez into the perfect lady.
The copper mining town of Jerome is booming. Inez has never encountered so many different types of people, some more mysterious than others. Her inquisitiveness may get the best of her.
As circumstances twist, turn, and buckle, Inez discovers
another side of the town: elegant parlor houses, the mysterious Navajo
Onalee, Mr. Zhen and his Chinese laundry girls, the town's handsome
sheriff, and a new best friend Pearl who fancies striped stockings and
a sip or two of wine.
Under a Copper Moon is a story of grit, daring, perseverance, and a splash of Lady Marmalade in the late Victorian era when men were strong and women were supposed to be coy and quiet… But no one could convince Inez of that.
