Title: Mail-Order Husband Genre: Inspirational/Historical/Romance Widow Lena Walker struggles to raise her two sons and keep their Nebraska farm running. She knows the pang of loneliness. None of the nearby eligible bachelors meets her high expectations, so she decides to advertise for a husband in newspapers back east. Men find wives that way; why couldn't she find a husband? In Philadelphia, Gabriel Hunters has spent his life buried in books. He believes the answer to every question can be found in books–especially the Bible. When he sees Lena's advertisement for a husband and father, he prays for God's guidance, and feels God is leading him to a place he's never been and work he's never done. Lena knows God doesn't make mistakes, but maybe she did! Gabe isn't at all what she expects! Ready to send him back on the first train, Lena is convicted during her devotionals. But how can God ever expect her to love overweight, unattractive Gabe? And will Gabe ever master the work he feels God called him to do? Once again, DiAnn Mills has crafted an easy-to-read, interesting story. Gabe is one-of-a-kind and a very loveable hero. I enjoyed this unique twist to the popular mail-order bride stories. | |
