Truth Found West
Claire Charlins, Karolyn James
Ever since Rebecca Hartington lost her mother, she has had to protect her younger sister, Virginia, from their drunk and abusive father by putting herself in harm's way. Rebecca has always been strong and caring, putting on a brave face everyday. However, when Virginia is forced to accept the hand of a man named Calvin in marriage and become a mail order bride, Rebecca secretly fears living alone with her father.
When Virginia confesses her love for a local man and their plan to escape Massachusetts, Rebecca is faced with a hard decision... does she stay and risk her life with her father or does she deceive a perfectly good man in Kansas who is expecting Virginia to step off the train?
Calvin Emitsen is elated to meet his new bride. The moment he sees her, he knows she's more beautiful than she described in her letters. As they grow to learn about each other, he begins to notice more differences between the letters and the woman he has married. Nonetheless, he has fallen in love with his bride and chooses to overlook the obvious.
Unable to tell Calvin the truth, Rebecca lets her secret go on for months. But when she receives news that should excite a husband and wife, Rebecca knows that she must tell Calvin the truth, no matter how hard it is.
Confessions of the heart grace the pages of this 1800's western romance.
