Synopsis

Author: ¬+ Laura Friel Description:

Nell Baker is not the kind of woman a man can put down. The Scarlet O'Hara of Mormon literature, Nell Baker is a woman who knows what she wants and sooner or later, figures out how to get it!

Freeing herself from a bland engagement, Nell meets Tom Mortenson, a Mormon, and is instantly intrigued. Tom baptizes Nell and marries her. In her heart, Nell doesn’t believe much of what Tom preaches, but she does believe in her love for him and his love for her. What begins as youthful flirtation blossoms into full, mature love through separation, sacrifice, and many unforeseen hardships.

As Tom follows Brigham Young to the valley of the Great Salt Lake, Nell grapples with her unforgiving family, a new baby and her longings to be taken care of by a now-absent husband. Finally, reaching a point of no return¬óthe Jumping Off Place¬óNell loads up her covered wagon and heads west, with two rough guides, a nanny goat, and her small daughter.

Jumping Off Places is an epic journey of a headstrong woman with a love as big as the Nebraska sky, and a will to match the mighty Missouri, as she heads west to build a new life with the man she loves. Nell Baker Mortenson is a pioneer woman unlike no other, before or since. "Jump off" with Nell and Tom and enjoy this unforgettable adventure!
