At eighteen, Jenny was released from the orphanage out into the world. With no family and no prospects, she had no choice but to become a mail-order bride. Her struggles west to meet Bo Braden and his son Bobby changed her from a frightened child to a full grown woman. Never giving up on reaching Hope Mountain Valley and her future family, her quest into the west was an adventure that no other woman had experienced until the story of Jenny's struggle was known and told around the campfires.
