Leora: Bride of California — Kit Morgan

Leora Bride of California, is the thirty-first book in the unprecedented 50-book American Mail-Order Brides Series! Her sister gone, her roommates soon to follow, Leora Mitchell must now face the fact that she, along with the others, are mail-order brides. For years her life revolved around Brown's Textile Mill, her sister Lottie and their friends. Now, as mail-order brides they'd be scattered across the country, ready to start a new life. The only problem was, Leora had no idea what that life looked like, nor did she have any idea who she was without the familiar faces she loved so much. Pastor Theron Drake needed a wife, and the crazy folks in his congregation whole-heartedly agreed. So much so, they thought they should have as much access to the new Mrs. Drake as he did! They volunteered her for everything they could think of and made her the director of the annual Christmas Play. Throw in the town bully/busybody who'd rather have her own choice of a Mrs. Drake, and you have a mail-order bride that doesn't know if she's coming or going. Will Theron and Leora's new marriage survive the onslaught of his over-zealous parishioners? Or will she crack under the pressure, turn tail and run? Find out in this hilarious romp how two people are forced to discover their true strengths and weaknesses.
