How should rancher Harlan Graves act when his daughter Bernice runs away
from boarding school, arriving home frightened and wanting her mother?
He hasn't a clue, and the child's mother is buried on their ranch. How
should Angelina Busto, The Cupcake Queen of New York, react when a nun
attempts to set her up with a man nearly three thousand miles away? Her
mother wants her to marry and bear children... but must it be so far
away? This is a story of the pairing of two adults and the assimilation
of a child who fears for her future. The principals meet in the mail
(early in the 20th Century) and try to find a way to mesh. They meet in
person and it doesn't work out. So she goes home. Was it a mislead? Is
there a future for these two? Gilbert and Sullivan both have something
to say about it. Especially if you like pastrami. Among the unique
features of the book is a Godly way to explain menses. The story
captures the interest of the mail-order bride stories but includes
scriptural guidance in child-rearing and worship.
