Summer, 1881
When Margaret Thomas dared step out of line as a teacher at a prestigious girl's academy, her life falls apart. She has no prospects for further employment and no chance of marriage. She lost her family in a fire that left her scarred as a young child. Because she's prone to rash decisions, she decides on a whim to answer the advertisement for a mail-order bride in New Mexico Territory.
Silas Coleman is an undertaker, shunned by the people of Fort Sumner. When his mother passes on, she leaves instructions with the reverend to advertise for a bride for her son. But the advertisement doesn't say his occupation, and it requires a wedding by proxy before the new bride arrives.
Can these two lost and lonely hearts find love and a family when they both hit rock bottom?
Genre: Inspirational
