Summary:

Entering into marriage without love is not the dream of most brides, but nine women from days gone by commit to saying I do before they barely know their grooms. Four sisters travel in answer to an ad before even corresponding with potential husbands. Two women bend to the will of their parents in taking husbands. A widow commits to a stranger in name only. And two women on the Oregon Trail hitch their lives to men they ve just met. Amid the angst brought on by conveniently arranged marriage, can love be found and firmed by faith?
