Mule Driver Jenny Jones is in a Mexican prison awaiting execution when she is visited by a local woman. The dying woman offers to take Jenny's place in front of a firing squad if Jenny will promise to take the woman's young daughter to her American Father in California. Jenny doesn't like children, but a promise is a promise and she always keeper her word. Soon Jenny and little Graciela are on the run from the child's relatives who want to see her dead in order to get her large inheritance. While trying to keep one step ahead of the relatives, Jenny runs into Graciela's uncle, Ty Sanders, who has been sent by his brother to find the child. Together they fight evil relatives, desperadoes, and a six-year-old brat.
Wow! You don't find too many heroines like this one. Jenny is a hard woman who has had to fight for everything she has ever received. She dresses like a man, cusses, smokes cigars, and doesn't trust anyone. She never lies and her word is her bond. So when she promises to take Graciela to California, she is determined to get it done. Ty thinks he is on a fool's errand to find his brother's long-lost daughter, and is just lucky to stumble across her and Jenny during a shoot-out with Graciela's cousins. He doesn't know what to make of a woman like Jenny Jones, but knows they'll have to work together to get the little girl home.
Maggie Osborne has done an outstanding job developing the characters in this book, from Jenny down to little Graciela who hate each other at first sight. The story is great and moves fast. There are lots of laughs and lots of tears. I couldn't put this book down. My rating: 5 Stars.
