Jennifer always dismissed the suggestion that she was beautiful, but Tom disagreed. Both mother and daughter were like the thoroughbreds they loved, possessed of long lines, graceful and athletic. Jennifer\u2019s most striking traits were the ones Tom had fallen in love with and his daughter had inherited: green eyes and auburn hair\u2014and also a fiery temper and an intractable stubborn streak.<\/p>\n

Words came into Tom\u2019s mind as he watched his wife, something her father had said the night Tom was married. His father-in-law generally spoke little, but on that night he put his arm around Tom\u2019s shoulders and gave him advice. \u201cShe can seem a bit tough at times, son, but Jennifer is a good girl. She\u2019s like all the Owens women. They came west by oxen and went right back for their horses, and no one got in their way.\u201d His father-in-law\u2019s eyes had been full of amusement, but his expression grew serious. \u201cYou never got to meet any of the old girls. Just as well, son. Be a shame if they\u2019d scared you off.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
