Book Synopsis: Leaving behind her country and what she had left of a family Kathleen Macavee came to America, escaping the poverty of 1883 Ireland. She is to wed a man she knows nothing about. He could be a fine gentleman or he could be a murderer; he could be young or he could be old, he might be quite handsome or he could be quite ugly. None of these things mattered to the beautiful sixteen year old girl. She could no longer remain where she was. Drew Bryant turned out to be a very handsome young man when he met her at the stage coach. They were wed the same day that Kathleen arrived. The trip had been so long and tedious that she vowed that if he had changed his mind and did not want her, she would throw herself under the wheels of the stage rather than get back on it. The two young people soon learned to love one another and made a home together in the early West of New Mexico territory. Life was not easy and there were many adventures; just days after arriving Kathleen had the dubious honor of delivering the twin babies of their only neighbors. There was the time Kathleen was kidnapped and taken to be sold by a man who had accosted her on the stage. As soon as Drew learns she is missing he follows after and finds his young bride. Between the two of them they remove the threat of this dandy from their lives. Life was never easy on the frontier nor was it for the Bryant family, for they were truly a family who loved, laughed, cried and prayed. In the end all of their prayers were answered. . |
