Mail-order Brides
Becoming a mail-order bride can be a dangerous thing for a woman to do.
Isabella, newly arrived in America from Sweden, first loses her parents after they arrive at Ellis Island and then loses her job at the factory in Massachusetts after it burns down. Nothing in America seems to last but she hopes her mail-order bride marriage to the wealthy Donald Jenks in Yellow Springs, Ohio will.
Donald's letters from Yellow Springs describe Isabella's dream home, with gardens, away from the city and Mr. Jenks sounds as if he would be the perfect husband.
But as her grandmother always said, trouble comes in threes, and there is danger standing between her and her happy ever after.
Tom, a Pinkerton agent, who is on the case of disappearing women, is traveling on the same train as Isabella when she is selected by white slavers to be the next female victim to be abducted. He will have to act fast if he is to save her in time.
Will Isabella reach Ohio safely, marry Donald and have the happy ever after she has always dreamed of? And why would such a handsome and successful businessman have to send away for a mail-order bride when he could have his pick of the young ladies near Yellow Springs?
There are many dangers that can befall a mail-order bride.
