Review: Elle's story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 19, 2014
Begins with narrow escape from 'flesh traders' and ends with marriage to the sheriff of Nowhere.  Part of a series of mail order bride stories, focusing on the challenge of young women once they are too old for living in an orphanage but unable to find viable employment in post Civil War chaos.  She finds a friend and true love.  All the books tend to leave one with the shadowy sense that any ends well story from that period was more by accident than plan.
