A Bride for Donnigan

Více o knize

Kathleen O'Malley stands on the deck of the Barreth Lily, watching her homeland fade from view as she embarks on a journey to America to meet a man she has never seen. Though she had been unhappy in her previous life, the emotions swirling within her make her yearn for the familiarity she is leaving behind. As the shoreline disappears into the mist, she grapples with the reality of marrying a total stranger. Meanwhile, on a prairie farm far from Boston, Donnigan Harrison awaits Kathleen's arrival. He has achieved many dreams—a cozy cabin, a sturdy barn, and flourishing crops—but he feels an overwhelming loneliness on the frontier. With limited options for companionship, the idea of a mail-order bride, once unthinkable, has become a viable solution. As the moment of their meeting approaches, Donnigan is filled with excitement, akin to a child on Christmas Eve. Yet, beneath his anticipation lies a deep-seated fear—what have I done? The journey ahead is fraught with uncertainty for both Kathleen and Donnigan as they prepare to forge a new life together.
