It is 1933, and seventeen-year-old Rhoda Bowling is filled with
indignation, outrage, and fear. Th e moment she has dreaded for
quite some time has finally arrived. As her train pulls away from
the depot in rural Stoutland, Missouri, Rhoda tries her best not to
hate her father, but deep inside, she knows he has just ruined her
life.
Against her will, Rhoda is heading for Springfield to meet her
future husband, one of two men who answered her father's newspaper
advertisement soliciting a spouse. Afraid her life will trace the
same dismal pattern as Mama's-forever dependent on and subservient
to an unloving, unappreciative man-Rhoda disembarks from the train
and heads toward Nixa, where the dreaded unknown looms before her.
Rhoda knows nothing about her future husband, Zachoriah Kelmsley,
except that he is widowed and the father of a young daughter. Only
moments after the two strangers meet, they are married in the
courthouse, forever tucking away Rhoda's hopes for love and
happiness-or so she thinks.
In this historical romance, a young woman on a coming-of-age
journey during the Great Depression must dig deep to unleash the
fierce independence she never knew she had in order to realize her
true destiny.
