About this listen
Emily Stewart, a widow and blind woman who has a six-year-old son, agrees to be a mail order bride, only to realize that her intended husband is killed in a fire just days before she arrives out West.
Benjamin Hart is reeling after the death of his brother.
And Benjamin has to wonder why his deceased brother never tells him about his bride from back East.
Benjamin has long dreamed of leaving the dullness of farm life behind and seeking adventure. Especially now that the gold rush has begun, he is eager to sell and be done with the farm land. He makes it clear that he is not looking to marry, but Emily has nowhere else to go. He allows her to stay at the farm while she figures out where to go.
As circumstances force them to stay together, they can perhaps find the fresh start they are both looking for in each other…
But old mindsets are not easily changed.
Emily and Benjamin can choose to leave behind the trauma and heartache of their past. Or will they?
Will their skewed perceptions forever keep them apart?
A Christian western historical romance; no cheating, no cliffhangers and a guaranteed happily ever after.
