description: Tess is a seamstress in upstate New York during the 1880s. She fears she will be working in the sweltering shop her whole life and never find true happiness by finding a man who loves her. A married friend shows her a newspaper that has ads for mail order husbands and Tess shyly studies it with guarded hope. Tess is quite bashful with a lot of fear but also worries what her life would be like without a big change. Will she find happiness out west or be stuck in the sweltering shop in New York? This is a stand-alone story and can be read independently but is also book 2 of the series.
