Jean Henry Mead's novel Escape is a powerful story of a young woman who hides her identity from outlaws. The author writes lyrically of Wyoming settlers and rough men who ran wild on the frontier. She brings courage, conviction and spiritual beauty to this fine story. Richard S. Wheeler, award-winning author The stage is set for nonstop action in this debut novel by Jean Henry Mead with its delightful blend of western fiction and Wyoming history. The dialogue rings true and is peppered with humor, making for a thoroughly enjoyable read. The early introduction and resulting misadventures of Tom "Peep" O'Day (who is eventually blamed for the bungled bank robbery of Belle Fourche, South Dakota) adds a wonderful balance to the storyline and offers an interesting insight into members of the wild bunch. An added bonus is the epilogue which details each gang member's fate. If it's a wild ride you're looking for, Escape will take you on an adventure that will leave you breathless.

Andrea's Grandmother tells her to cut her hair and put on coveralls to disguise herself when some strangers come to the ranch in the late 1800's in Wyoming. When "Andy" is kidnapped and force to go to the Hole in the Wall and spend time with the Wild Bunch things get very interesting.
Lots of stories about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid along with the other outlaws, all told with some very accurate history.
There is a lot of violence in this book, and maybe that was was bothered me. Yes, I know that the outlaws of the Wild Bunch were violent and killed and robbed and stole but most of the violence in this one is aim at Andy and her friend Billy, Billy being the only person who knows that Andy is a female. Both are beaten, shot at, and generally abused. Maybe that was what bothered me the most, that so much violence was directed at the youngest of the characters.
If you are big fans of the last of the old-time cowboy/outlaws this is a great story. It just didn't work for me as well as I would have liked. (
