Set in mid-1800's Nebraska where the old west is a rugged place for a single woman, this book offers a twist on the mail-order-bride scenario with four distinct stories of prairie hardships, trials, and adventure.

Lena Walker, widow and mother of two strapping sons, fends off would-be suitors with feisty temper and pitchfork. Marrying again might be necessary for survival, but she'd find her own way and trust God to provide. With no decent available man in sight, she daringly runs an ad for a MAIL ORDER HUSBAND in a Pennsylvania newspaper. God provides more adventure and surprise than Lena bargained for.

Protesting the evils of drink lands spinster school teacher, Nettie Franklin, firmly in jail and the judge owns the saloon. The only way out is to find a TEMPORARY HUSBAND. Nettie has a lot to learn about trusting God, especially in a pinch, and about telling and believing in the truth?

In April of 1848, Sarah Jane and her parents leave Independence, Missouri with a wagon train bound for Oregon's famed farming country. Weather, sickness, death, and hardship trail this brave heroine. When typhoid takes her parents, the wagon train's committee banishes her from their midst, but not before they force her into marrying their scout, Painted Hands. There are secrets and gossip surrounding Sarah's KIOWA HUSBAND. I found the detail and historical information about traveling by wagon train in this story quite interesting. The author's research was extensive.

Audra Lenders isn't satisfied with life in a soddie, nor is the adventure of prairie weather and survival enough. Audra wants real adventure, and the marriage proposal from Pastor Windsor's preacher son, Christopher, has all the earmarks. On the way to meet her prospective fiancé, her stage coach is held up by gunman Caleb Windsor, Christopher's twin. Or is it? Those dark eyes draw her into fantasy and confusion. Both men seem protective and throw her into confusion. Who is the real outlaw, who is the RENEGADE HUSBAND?

Readers who love research and detailed description, and conversations with God will surely enjoy the stories within the covers of NEBRASKA LEGACY.
