A Christmas BelleBy Anne GreeneDescription:Amanda Jeffrey, mail-order bride, arrives in the Wild West expecting to wed a cowboy. Frank Calloway, Sheriff of Angel Vale needs a mother for the baby left on his doorstep. But can the delicate Southern belle with the disappointed expression accept a Southern man, rather than a cowboy, after another Southern groom jilted her at the altar? And is the delicate southern belle strong enough to handle life in the rugged western boom town? Book Takeaway:God is in control. No matter the circumstances, God guides and directs if His child looks for His will. Why the author wrote this book:In the 1800s countless women became mail-order brides. This accepted way to marriage became popular due to the necessity of women moving to the west and as a means whereby older unmarried women could find a husband. This seems strange to us today, but was an accepted part of life back then. I find the whole concept fascinating. |
