Omschrijving

Olivia Rose orphaned at a very young age was the child of a fur trader and a Cheyenne squaw. Taken to an orphanage she quickly found that no one wanted to adopt what the people called a half-breed.savage. As she grew up she remained at the orphanage, teaching and caring for the children.

Elizabeth or Betsy as she was called came from a very prominent family in Boston. She met Olivia one day in the market and they soon became good friends. Betsy's family did not approve so they just began meeting in the secret whenever they could. Betsy was determined to help her friend escape life in the orphanage. When she found an ad at the postal office she pulled it down and gave it to Olivia. "You must do this" she told her friend. "Send a letter, your life cannot be worse than this." The ad she gave her said that they were looking for mail order brides for gold miners in California/ These men were lonely and needed a woman for companionship. This was ridiculous she thought, no one would want her, but she wrote the letter anyway. She was honest about her life, and she mailed it off figuring no one would ever respond. When a letter came back addressed to her she was surprised. She still wasn't sure but then Mrs. Culpepper came with devastating news and Olivia knew she had to do something.
