When she decides to marry she realizes that there’s few prospects where she lives and she winds up as a mail-order bride to one Roger Gormley, who leaves her stranded at the train station when he decides to simply pretend that she will be just fine if he doesn’t come to fetch her. Jackson Hawk does show up though after Cecily and Megan learn of Roger’s cowardly behavior and tell him about the pretty young girl who will be stranded in a desolate little train town tucked high into the mountains. Jackson wants nothing to do with any of it. He’s got enough problems of his own but one look at the blonde haired, blue-eyed girl with a sassy attitude and courageous heart and he’s lost. Only trouble is that Roger suddenly decides to do the right thing. Jackson’s a man of honor, and he won’t step up. So it’s up to Jenny to decide what her life will be like from now on out, and it’s a decision she has to make quickly because a dark secret she’s hiding is about to be exposed.

Order of books in the Unconventional Series: Abby: Mail Order Bride; Broken Angel; Ryder's Salvation; Joy's Return Brant Samson has fallen on hard times after the death of his beloved wife a year earlier. Left with three children, he's desperate to find a mother for them. Ten year old Jenny does her best to care for two year old Ty, and fourteen year old Luke works the ranch with his father, losing himself in dime novels to ease the pain of his mother's passing. Brant's options are limited since eligible women seldom pass through Two Rivers, much less settle in the small Texas town. In desperation, he places a classified advertisement for a mail order bride. Marrying a woman he'll come to know through a newspaper advertisement scares the bejesus out of him, but at this point, he's out of options. Abigail Mary Vaughn always dreamed of having her own family, but caring for her elderly parents, as well as working as a teacher to help with finances, ended that dream. Her parents are now deceased and she's faced with the reality of her lonely existence. After reading Mr. Samson's advertisement in the Philadelphia Inquirer, she garners enough courage to respond. Since she is considered an old maid at the age of thirty-eight, she'll more than likely spend the remainder of her life wondering "what if" unless she does something unconventional.

Download or read book The Wives of Western Philosophy written by Jennifer Forestal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wives of Western Philosophy examines the lives and experiences of the wives and women associated with nine distinct political thinkers—from Socrates to Marx—in order to explore the gendered patterns of intellectual labor that permeate the foundations of Western political thought. Organized chronologically and representative of three eras in the history of political thought (Ancient, Early Modern, and Modern), nine critical biographical chapters explore the everyday acts of intellectual labor and partnership involving these "wives of the canon." Taking seriously their narratives as intimate partners reveals that wives have labored in remarkable ways throughout the history of political thought. In some cases, their labors mark the conceptual boundaries of political life; in others, they serve as uncredited resources for the production of political ideas. In all instances, however, these wives and intimates are pushed to the margins of the history of political thought. The Wives of Western Philosophy brings these women to the center of scholarly interest. In so doing, it provides new insights into the intellectual biographies of some of the most famed men in political theory while also raising important questions about the gendered politics of intellectual labor which shape our receptions of canonical texts and thinkers, and which sustain the academy even today.
