The Blue Ribbon Brides Collection: 9 Historical Women Win More than a Blue Ribbon at the FairBy Jennifer L. AlLee, Angela Breidenbach, Darlene Franklin, Cynthia Hickey, Carrie Fancett Pagels, Tiffany Amber Stockton, Niki Turner, Gina Welborn, Becca WhithamDescription:
The competition is fierce at state, county, and national fairs when nine women between 1889 and 1930 go for the blue ribbon to prove they have something valuable to contribute to society. Book Takeaway:Walk the displays and watch the judging of contests as men and women meet at the fair and enter into the greatest prize pursuit—that of a devoted and godly heart. Why the author wrote this book:Angela says, "This story is a continuing series for me about the beginnings of the state of Montana. I love sharing the completely crazy and romantic stories of how Montana and her people came to be. In this case, it's true that the women of Montana traveled to Chicago for the 1893 World's Fair and took home seven medals for scientific botany. Putting a fictional romance into that historical truth is pure fun!" |
