This is the story of Olga (Horn) Boudreau, wife, mother, grandmother, and adventurer. In 1950, rebellious and longing to live life on her own terms, Olga left a comfortable lifestyle in Kelowna and struck out for the backwoods of northern British Columbia. After securing her teacher certificate, she landed a teaching job for the tiny two room school in Penny. When she stepped off the train into the sawmill town of Penny, she found herself in a bustling world tucked between the mountains and the river, and accessible only by rail. A world without electricity or phones, and filled with moose, bear, beaver, and fish, and the men who worked at sawmilling and logging. The world of Penny was so captivating and compelling that it held her fascination for more than 60 years. There she found romance, got married, and raised five children in a small house nestled at the base of Red Mountain. Written as a legacy for her family and friends, this book is an intimate account of Olga Boudreau's life, to be enjoyed moment by moment, just as she lived it.
