Sick of the taunts from the inhabitants of her small town, above average weight Jocelyn had endured numerous insults since she was a small child. An ad for mail order brides spurred her to act and she wrote to the company and was matched up with a rancher in California who wanted a wife with a sense of adventure.

Amy Rollins was born in California and has lived there her entire life. She has a husband, two adult children, and a large garden, which she grows most of her food in. She also takes care of a menagerie, which includes three cats, a gigantic rabbit called Roger, a rescued donkey and a large, white, old horse, which was called Boney but now is more like a water barrel! Her favorite genre for the Christian literature she writes is mail order brides.
