My favorite author does not fail to please. This Brides if Beckham book carries on the mail order bride series with just the right spin and pace. injured as a child, Elaine's mother treats her like an invalid, keeping her "safely" at home, however it's as though she plans to escape all along. When Elizabeth sends Elaine to Kansas to marry John, Elaine arrives three days later and as one might imagine is extremely tired. Seeing her limp John basically rejects her immediately. Colin overhears their conversation and resolves to marry Elaine himself as she is beautiful and he has heard her say that she can cook. Elaine and Colin get on famously and Elaine makes many new friends, yet her insecurities get the best of her. Realizing that John is their neighbor a d that he is as unpleasant as first perceived, Colin teaches Elaine to shoot. When John comes calling, Elaine uses the only weapon she can reach to defend herself and through her actions, she realizes that she is not a misfit after all.
