After her parents died, Lucy Marsh took responsibility for her younger
brother and sister. She struggles to support them and tries to make
a home for them. But somehow, she never makes ends meet.
Just when their lives seem hopeless, a man named Luther Stanton
makes Lucy an astounding offer. He asks her to become his son's
wife and proves his legal right to have the marriage performed by
proxy. Full of misgivings, Lucy agrees to the marriage and leaves
Boston for her new home in Wichita,Texas.
But Caleb Stanton doesn't want a wife. And he particularly
doesn't want a cultured, blonde slip of a wife from the East.
He needs someone who can rope cattle and ride a horse, someone
who can work at his side to help him build a cattle empire.
Someone like his neighbor Margaret.
Will Lucy ever be able to measure up to Margaret's abilities?
Or maybe, just maybe, could Caleb learn to love her for herself?
Set in 1877 Texas, this is a good Christian romance book.
