Courting Trouble - Deeanne Gist

Descriere Courting Trouble - Deeanne Gist

In 1890s Texas, being a single woman at 30 meant you were practically a spinster. Tired of leaving it up to providence, Essie takes matters into her own hands, casting her sights on the towns remaining bachelors and widowers. Surely with one of them she can find a match made in heaven, even if shes decided to leave God out of it. \nTired of Waiting for a Match-Made-in-Heaven, \nShe'll Settle for One Made in Texas \n \nWhether it's riding bikes, catching snakes, or sliding down banisters, Essie Spreckelmeyer just can't quite make herself into the ideal woman her hometown--and her mother--expect her to be. It's going to take an extraordinary man to appreciate her joy and spontaneity--or so says her doting oil-man father. \n \nUnfortunately such a man doesn't appear to reside in Corsicana, Texas. \n \nIt's 1894, the year of Essie's thirtieth birthday, and she decides the Lord has more important things to do than provide her a husband. If she wants one, she needs to catch him herself. So, she writes down the names of all the eligible bachelors in her small Texas town, makes a list of their attributes and drawbacks, closes her eyes, twirls her finger, and ... picks one. \n \nBut convincing the lucky husband-to-be is going to a bit more of a problem. \n \nJoin Deeanne Gist for another unforgettable tale and find out whether Essie's plan to catch a husband succeeds or if she's just Courting Trouble.
