Bertha Muzzy Sinclair (1871-1940), best known by her pseudonym B.M. Bower, was born in Minnesota. She later moved with her family to Montana, where she was a school teacher. One of the first women to make a living writing westerns, Bower wrote 57 romance and adventure novels set in the American west. Several of which were made into films. Jean, a young girl of 15 is uprooted from her ranch home when her father is convicted of man-slaughter and sentenced to 8 years in prison. At age 18 she decides to earn enough money to repurchase their ranch and find the man she suspects of committing the crime. As with many of these old westerns, the romance is subtle and the mystery is not so much. It is a very enjoyable light read and I recommend it highly.
