Endless Horizons Of Amelia Wilkens: A Mail Order Bride Romance eBook

Amelia Wilkins stared out the window of her family's modest farmhouse, watching the flat Kansas prairie stretch endlessly to the horizon. A warm breeze carried the faint smell of manure from the barn, and she wrinkled her nose in disgust. At twenty-five years old, Amelia felt like an old maid, with little prospect for a husband or family of her own.Her younger sister had already married one of the few eligible bachelors in their small town, leaving Amelia to care for her ailing parents and maintain the dwindling family farm. Each day blended into the next - a monotonous cycle of chores, cooking, cleaning, with no romance or excitement on the horizon. Amelia longed for more from life than this dreary, solitary existence.One fateful day, a tattered newspaper blew across the yard, catching Amelia's eye. She snatched up the pages, intrigued by an advertisement that read: "Wanted - Young woman of good character to become bride of hardworking miner in the Montana Territory. Comfortable cabin and prosperous future await." Her heart fluttered with a spark of hope. Perhaps her fortunes could change after all."I could do this," she whispered to herself, her heart beating a little faster with each passing moment. Without hesitation, she grabbed a pen and paper, ready to take fate into her own hands.
