An Inspirational Mail Order Bride Story: Barren and Scarred and Bound to be Wed

An inspirational Mail Order Bride story about loss, faith, and finding room for love.

It’s 1883, and Scarlet Fever has left Miranda orphaned, scarred and with nowhere to turn. The sickness has also left her barren, and she is certain that no man could ever want her for a wife.

Rather than turn to the cold life of a Governess for children she does not know, Miranda follows a sign from God and takes her chances as a Mail Order Bride.

Soon, she is bound for the frontier to become the bride of one Garrett Underwood. She is only hoping for someone to share a life—a place to call home and take care of. She does not intend to find love.
But her city ways and unfortunate scar don’t win Miranda any friends, and she knows she can never give Garrett the family he deserves.

When she realizes how the town pities him for his choice in a bride, she has to decide … will she stay with this gentle, loving man, or will she leave him to find a better woman than she?
