Written By me.
Louise McCloud was the oldest daughter. After the death of her mother, Lou and her younger siblings were taken to live in a Catholic orphanage. Promising to come back for her brother and sister when she had earned enough money, Lou left the orphanage. She worked a series of odd jobs in a nearby town until she was hired to be a laundress in a local establishment.
Innocent as she was, Lou had no idea that she was working in a brothel until she'd been there for quite some time. When she was fourteen years old, she endured a brutal rape by Wicks, the owner of the brothel.
Borrowing money from one of the prostitute's, Lou fled to St. Joe where she saw the advertisement for the Pony Express. Determined to get the job, Lou transformed herself into a 'boy'. Not only did she get the job but she got something else as well…a place to call home, a family she'd never realized she wanted and found a lifelong love.
