Escape
A Wyoming Historical Novel
"Jean Henry's Escape is a powerful story of a young woman who hides her identity from outlaws. The author writes lyrically of Wyoming, settlers, and rough men who ran wild on the frontier. She brings courage, conviction, and spiritual beauty to this fine story."

A Village Shattered
"This book kept me on the edge of my seat! There's mystery, suspense and, to make things a bit more interesting, some romance thrown in. You don't know who the killer is or why he/she is doing it until the very end. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery."

CASPER COUNTRY
"Presidents Truman, Roosevelt, and Reagan, John C. Fremont, Ella "Cattle Kate" Watson-Averell, and newsman Alfred Mokler are just a few of the people you'll meet in Jean Henry-Mead's Casper Country: Wyoming's Heartland. Heavily illustrated with vintage and 20th century photographs, Mead's sharp-eyed stroll through Casper's first century pays a call on the booms and busts, floods and blizzards, grasshoppers and sheep, cowboys and oil men that influenced the city's history. . ."
