Thrills, Danger, Excitement–Trying to Find a Good Man!
Three sheltered sisters, who have only known affluence, escape in the middle of the night. They follow a dangerous scheme, but they must get away before their step-father’s arranged marriages take place. Their only hope is to find honest men, marry them and gain control of their inheritance.
To stay under the radar, they have taken refuge in a struggling mission near the California gold camps. But Caleb, the man in charge, is new. His lack of knowledge, along with terrible circumstances, have almost caused the death of them all.
Have the sisters leapt out of the frying pan and into the fire? If they marry quickly, how do they keep from getting in a controlling, dangerous situation like they had with their step-dad? Will they be able to find suitable husbands among the desperate men ready to kill because of gold fever? Is their mother being beaten or worse because of their step-father’s anger over the missing girls?
The adventures these women have will keep you on the edge of your seat, while many of their circumstances, although dangerous, will also bring you a chuckle or two. Mary Connealy is well-known for her amazing stories, and this does not disappoint. This is Christian fiction, a clean story, and I highly recommend it.
This is book one in the series, “Lumber Baron’s Daughters,” and ends on a cliff-hanger. You will be thrilled to get the next installment for more of this exciting tale–I guarantee it!
