Two gals known to be plucky. Gutsy. Maybe a little headstrong.
Meet the two Mollys--one a renowned survivor of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, the other a determined heifer with an indomitable spirit. Living a century apart, they share more than just a name; their deeper bond is a legacy of courage. The Mollys B., a beautifully illustrated biography, brings their parallel stories to life, exploring the extraordinary day each met life-threatening challenges with remarkable bravery. From the icy waters of the Atlantic to the open fields of Montana, this book is a powerful celebration of resilience, hope, and the unyielding will to survive. Join the journey and discover how two lives, though different, are forever united by an unwavering determination that can light the way through even the darkest moments.

Later she started writing them down and has been doing so ever since.Although she loves all animals and has had lots of them find their way into her care, she has never owned a cow. She does, however, own two black cats named Rajah and Ghost.
