#InspirationalFriday Could love be found in the mail?
When Lina Napolitano’s nanny position ends, she has no
desire to return to the crowded family compound in St. Louis
and endure the pressure from all her boisterous and
overbearing Italian relatives to marry a local man. After
eight years of living away from her family, she’s accustomed
to making her own decisions. Lina wishes to be a wife—just
not of the local garbage man or fishmonger. Traveling as a
mail-order bride to Sweetwater Springs, Montana seems like
the perfect solution to escaping her smothering family and
forging her own life.
After childbirth robs Jonah Barrett of his Indian wife, he
is left to raise their toddler Adam alone. When Adam falls
into the fireplace and burns his hand, Jonah becomes
desperate to find the boy a mother—one who’ll care for him
and accept the child’s half-breed heritage. And a woman who
doesn’t know Jonah’s whole past.
Will outgoing, demonstrative Lina fit into his solitary
world and want to stay? Or will this mail-order marriage be
over before the relationship really begins?
