“The only way to save your ma is to marry me…” Josie and her ma were desperate to save their farm. George wanted their farm and Josie wanted to know why. Something wasn’t right. Praying for the Lord to guide and protect her, she impulsively buys a newspaper, secretly responding to an ad for a mail-order bride. While feeling at peace about her decision, George becomes forceful about their marriage. When disaster leaves them destitute, they escape from George, fleeing to Wyoming, where Josie’s future husband, Micah, awaits. Micah is everything Josie had ever dreamed of, with a future filled with love and hope; until her ma comes up missing, and George shows up, wearing guns, threatening… “The only way to save your ma is to marry me.” But that's not the only trouble they face... Will they ever overcome all the adversities? They cling to each other and their faith in God to get them through. Is it really meant for them to be together?

Lynne Lanning
Author · 4 books
Lynne Lanning has such an effortless way of evoking emotion from her readers. Her characters are so realistic that the reader can feel their pain during trials and their joy during triumphs. Reviews state: "...it's as if Mrs. Lanning lived through this herself." "Couldn't put it down..." "A real page turner." Lynne enjoys turning history and her love of God into enjoyable, relatable stories with practical life lessons that can benefit people today. Each story tells of true bonds of love and loyalty, mixed with tough times and decisions, with a twist of humor and sometimes devastation...the same is true in life. With a blend of her own family members and heritage along with lots of fiction, it's hard to tell where reality stops and fantasy begins.
