Why the author wrote this book:

I was fascinated with stories of real life mail-order brides and wanted to put this slice of history in a book. Writing the twists and turns of Elizabeth Manning and Ted Logan's marriage of convenience was not only great fun, I learned that families aren't all the same and even bad, often painful behaviors can be overcome with the help of our mighty God.
