The Rejected Mail-Order Bride

By Greta Picklesimer

Description:

When Rose Henderson steps off the train at the Harrisville Depot, she is confident that she can make a new start as a hatmaker and create a home for herself as far away from her father and his plans for her as possible. But when she meets the man who has promised to marry her, she suddenly finds her plans beginning to unravel. With barely any money to her name and an unstable future ahead of her, will Rose be able to find a place for herself in Harrisville, or will she have to succumb to her father’s will instead? Harl Adams is a self-proclaimed bachelor, content to live on his family’s apple orchard and take care of his mother and the farm. Harl’s past as a soldier in the Civil War still haunts him, keeping him from any possible future with a wife and children. But when he meets Rose Henderson, Harl sees things quite differently. Rose is unlike any woman he has ever met before, and she challenges him to see things in a whole new way. Unfortunately, Rose has come to Harrisville to marry someone else, and Rose does not share the same faith that Harl does. With a past chasing at her heels and an unsure future in front of her, what choice will Rose make?

Book Takeaway:

After reading this book, I hope people will take away that just because someone is born in a Christian nation that doesn't make them a Christian. Everyone needs to give their heart to the Lord.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote this as the second book in the Love in the Kentucky Hills series to give Harl Adams his own story. He was the brother of the main character in my first book, Second Chance at Happiness. I felt he deserved his own tale.
