Textul de pe ultima copertă

Joselyn is determined to escape from the Carson City Home for Unfortunate Girls. Disguised as a boy, she finds a job carrying the mail for the Pony Express. When the meanest man on the route learns that Jo is not who she appears to be, he uses her secret to extract a promise that, kept or broken, could mean death. Nikki Tate has been crazy about horses since before she spoke her first word, "horsie." Jo's Triumph is Nikki's tenth novel. Nikki lives with her daughter and many finned, furred and feathered creatures near Victoria, British Columbia.
