Michelle: Bride of Mississippi is 16th in the unprecedented 50-book American Mail-Order Brides series. When Michelle Porter's world collapses and her job as a seamstress disappears, she thinks maybe her cousin, Josephine, has a good idea—and she follows suit and answers an advertisement to be a mail order bride. She doesn't know much about Mississippi, but is willing to take a chance for a better life. Anthony Chandler's family has lived, loved and worked in Mississippi for generations and have been pillars of the community. The Civil War has changed the landscape, though, and he has ambitions...ones that his mother believes will be easier to achieve with a wife. He has no interest in courting and advertises for a mail-order bride to satisfy his family—and hopefully she'll just leave him alone. When Michelle learns that Anthony and his mother expect a southern lady—and she has no idea what that entails—can she meet their expectations? Will her dream of love and a home be possible in this very Southern society that she's not part of?
