Telegraph Bride — MaryAnn Burnett

When Elizabeth Stemple lost her husband in the Civil War, she also lost her home and livelihood, forcing her to move to the factory town of Lowell, Massachusetts. After living in her own home and being on her own for all those war years, having to share a single dorm room with five other women had been hard. Elizabeth was desperate to get out of the factory town.
Elizabeth hadn't really thought about what could go wrong with the mail order bride idea. Even if she had, the man not meeting her because he was in jail would not have been on the list. She'd jumped at the first opportunity to get out of Lowell without weighing the consequences.
And look where it had gotten her. Alone in the middle of nowhere with very little cash.
