Guest Review by Gracie Yost

When one thinks of getting married, it's most likely because you fell in love with someone and want to spend the rest of your life with that person. That's how it's supposed to happen right? Marriages haven't always consisted of two people who fell in love. In fact, many were nothing more than an arrangement made by two people born out of necessity.

   Our heroine, Josette Leblanc, finds herself in a precarious position. She has recently learned that at the stroke of midnight on her half-brothers 21st birthday, her father’s entire estate and business will be handed over to her half-brother. The thought of this happening terrifies Josette. Stephen is a known gambler and incompetent. If he gains control of the estate and business, along with  guidance from his mother, not only would Josette become penniless and homeless, but everything would fall into ruin.

    Is there a way for Josette to secure her fathers legacy? And, in the process save herself  from a life unimaginable? Mr.Trestle, her fathers lawyer, informs her of the only way he knows of which could prevent all this from happening. His answer shocks her, "Get married and return with the marriage certificate by the deadline and the estate will remain in your control."

   What will Josette do? She has three weeks in which to find a husband, get married and return with proof of the union. But how? And, who? Answering a newspaper advertisement for brides, Josette travels to the town of Little Falls, Minnesota, in search of  a husband. But, questions remain heavy in Josette’s mind. Will her family’s heritage prevent her from finding a husband as it had in the past? As a daughter of a fur trader and an Indian mother, she knows her chances of finding a husband are slim. But, she retains her hope and faith in God, that he will see her safely through this turmoil.
