Lizzie is forced to leave Dalton, Wyoming to escape her cruel and overbearing mother. Her mother, disappointed because Lizzie isn’t the petite, pretty daughter she wants, criticizes her for her daydreaming, until finally, after one family argument too many, Lizzie has had enough. Joseph Kendicott is advertising for a mail-order bride; he’s in trouble with the law and he figures that having a wife is better than any disguise. But when they meet for the first time, neither is what the other expected and love seems unlikely. That is, until they realize that love isn’t bound by the size of her dress or his reputation. They share dreams and a longing for adventure, but when Joseph’s past seems to have caught up with him, it’s Lizzie who must decide whether her heart is wild enough.
Fed up with her mother’s control and nastiness, Lizzie answers an ad for a M/O bride. She is excited about leaving Dalton and traveling. Unaware that he is hiding from the law, she travels to marry him. She is young, inexperienced but looking for excitement. Good story and a quick read.
