A 100-year-old pioneer woman tells her story in flashbacks.

In Hoyt City, a statue of founder Ethan Hoyt is dedicated, and 100-year-old Hannah Sempler Hoyt (who lives in the last residence among skyscrapers) is at last persuaded to tell her story to a 'girl biographer'. Flashback: in 1848, teenage Hannah meets and flirts with pioneer Ethan; on a sudden impulse, they elope. We follow their struggle to found a city in the wilderness, hampered by the Gold Rush, star-crossed love, peril, and heartbreak. The star "ages" 80 years.—Rod Crawford <[email protected]>

When the statue of the founder of Hoyt City, Ethan Hoyt is dedicated, the sensationalist reporters and a biographer head to the house of 100-year-old Hannah Sempler, where Ethan died, to know the relationship between them. Ms. Hannah sends them all out but the lady. Then she tells her life since she was a teenager and felt in love with the pioneer Ethan. In 1848, in Philadelphia, Ethan dreams on building Hoyt City, but he needs financiers and influential people to change the route of the railroad. Hannah decides to leave her upper-class father and marries Ethan. Eight years later, she meets gambler Steely Edwards and they become close friends. When Ethan discovers silver, Steely lends money to Hannah with the condition that she does not go to the mines with Ethan. Along the years, Ethan becomes rich and far from Hannah that he believes had died in a flood. Years later, they meet each other again in Hoyt City but their love is doomed since Ethan has raised his own family.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
