The Westward Home and Heart Mail-Order Bridge series will be individual stories, that each read well as stand-alone by various authors. The stories are clean, mail-order bride stories. They revolve around Mrs. Mildred ‘Milly’ Crenshaw of Boston, Massachusetts, and her business, Westward Home and Hearts Matrimonial Agency.
The story will be about Ruby Hastings, a woman of thirty-two who became the woman of the house after her mother died during childbirth with her youngest sister, Emerald aka Emmie. Now, Emmie has married Thomas and will be moving away, leaving Ruby alone. Between the wedding and luncheon, she will meet Mrs. Crenshaw, while she has stopped at the church cemetery to place flowers on her parent's graves. From the church to the luncheon, they chat.
Ruby: Thank you for listening. I feel much better. Ready now, in fact, to meet the others again and I appreciate you letting me ramble.
Millie: It was not rambling. You need a solution for your sense of being useless and adrift. It so happens that I have one. You, Miss Hastings, need to get married.
Ruby: Mrs. Crenshaw, you make it sound so easy. I’m a thirty-two-year-old spinster.
“Does any wife truly know her husband before they live together?”
Elias Kline lives in Mill Bluff and is a blacksmith. He came to the town after the war and was befriended by the Schmidt family, especially their daughter, Mary. The family pushes for a quick marriage and seven months later, Mary gives birth to a little boy she insists upon naming Franz. The Sauers, Franz, and his wife move back to Mills Bluff. Now, Mary Kline is dead by drowning and Franz Sauer was shot in the back.
“The entire population of Mills Bluff believed he’d killed his wife. Elias Kline decided in that moment to move away.”
The story is mystery, suspense, and life and death danger, and has the good, the bad, and the evil of people. Elias wants to move westward until he can find a town needing a blacksmith. He has the support of his in-laws, who go as far as to help him leave town when rumors are floating around. He will write to the Westward Home and Hearts Matrimonial Agency and ask if a wife, one who has never married, would meet him in St. Joseph, Missouri. From there, Mrs. Crenshaw will make arrangements with Ruby Hastings to travel and meet her future husband.
The story will have a great cast of characters and includes Elias and Frank, as he prefers to call his son, traveling under the assumed names of Ezra and Buddy King. I like that he does his best to keep people who matter informed of what they are facing, and the truth of the situation. He will include those who help him along the journey, including lawmen. It seems that there is a bounty out on him—and soon he will learn there is also one on his new brother-in-law. Becoming a mail-ordered bride was never something that Ruby expected to happen, but she is excited to embrace this new lot in her life—marrying a complete stranger. The journey of Elias and Ruby, along with Frank and Letty, and don’t forget Onie, was an adventure worth reading.
