Harvey House Bride — Teresa Ives Lilly

Sheila didn't want to live in Slaton, Texas where she was too old to attend school, but hungry for reading. But when she discovers the new Harvey House is hiring she accepts the job to help her family to get out of the tent they've been living in for two years.

Although, the work of a Harvey House Waitress is hard and time consuming, Sheila finds time to visit the local Railroad Reading Room where she meets Dale Daughtery; a man who inspires her and helps her.

The Harvey House rule is that no waitress may get married before her one-year contract is ended. Will Dale even want to marry her, and will she decide to leave him and risk losing her wonderful job?
