Wanted: Mail Order Bride
Nathan West is a rugged, handsome rancher and lonely for a good, Christian woman
Lonesome after the recent passing of his remaining family, Texas cowboy and rancher Nathan decides to take fate into his own hands, with an advert for a Mail Order Bride.
Emilia Ford lived a life of luxury, beauty and had it all; until her mother passed and her father turned to drink, treating her more like a maid than a daughter
After praying for guidance for a life of love and a good man, Emilia comes across Nathan’s ‘Mail Order Bride’ ad in the paper, and the pen pals find they share the sacred values of God and Scripture, and quickly form a special bond.
But things go from bad to worse in a house of horrors, when Emilia’s father offers her up in a bet …in trade for a pocket watch, and loses
Awaiting the return of his card playing partner to pick up his daughter the following week, Emilia’s father gets suspicious and puts her under house arrest, keeping her from a planned meeting with her potential fiancé.
Emilia knows there is ONLY one thing to do, and she turns to prayer for God’s assistance
Emilia must overcome the heart-break from a fathers betrayal and abuse, and find the strength to look within, when everything else appears completely hopeless.
Faith, trust, and courage form a powerful backdrop to this enchanting love story, with two people who find the deepest of union in the love of God.

Nice book of dhort stories
This was a great series of short stories. I prefer reading novels myself, however, this was a gentle break of mail order brides and their journeys. Most turned out well, a few were less fortunate and probably for the better.
