1889 – Oregon
An adventurous young woman. A man with a quiet life. And one infuriating newspaper column…
Philadelphia Dearborn craves adventure and loves to write. She also wants her father’s approval. For too long the newspaper owner hasn’t taken her seriously as a writer. So, she comes up with a brilliant plan to get him to take notice. She becomes a mail-order bride and plans to chronicle each step of what happens to her!
Leander Moore lives a quiet life in Fiddler’s Gap, and enjoys quiet evenings at home with a good book. But when his mail-order bride finally arrives and announces she’s going to chronicle their entire marriage, he goes round the bend. Worse, her father’s paper is in Philadelphia, where his parents live. The last thing they’ll want is to have everyone know their son’s private business! Leander is faced with a choice. Give his bride a chance to give up her madcap idea or send her straight back to Philadelphia.
