Avoiding The MistletoeBy Anne GreeneDescription:
1865 Desperate Widow Olivia Rose Baker abandons her dying hometown in Massachusetts to become a mail-order bride in male-dominated Seattle, Washington. Her abusive husband died in the Civil War and left Olivia wary of marriage, so she hopes to take a teaching position rather than become a bride. Book Takeaway:This book is about new beginnings. And becoming new creations in Christ. It is filled with hope. Why the author wrote this book:The story of The Mercer Girls is part of American history. These women settled a raw new town and became pillars of society. Most found happy marriages. I think the story is inspiring, so I wanted to write about such an unknown part of American history. |
