Sixteen Brides

By Stephanie Grace Whitson

Description:

With the promise of prime homesteads and fresh starts, sixteen Civil War widows uproot and move out West. But when they stumble off the train they are greeted by local bachelors eager to propose marriage. Sparks fly when the women learn the true motive behind the organization known as the Ladies Emigration Society. Caroline and Ella, Sally and Hettie, Ruth and Mama Zita will need all the courage and faith they can muster to survive their new circumstances--especially when they begin to discover that none of them is exactly who she appears to be.
