God's Window Melissa Phillips

Elizabeth had a plan. She would become a nun and devote her life to others. From now on her life would be one orderly self-sacrifice. Her life would mean something. Adam had a plan. He would order a wife from the East to help take care of his brother's kids while he finished building a lumber empire in Reedsport, Oregon. She would be unobtrusive and obedient. From now on his life would be orderly and serene. No surprises. But neither one of them could have predicted that an unscrupulous lawyer would come into both their lives and change everything. Now Elizabeth found herself on the way to Oregon as a mail order bride, no one listening to her pleas that this was all a mistake. While Adam greeted not the calm woman of his dreams, but a fiery Auburn haired girl insisting she was kidnapped. There is a saying, "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans". Adam and Elizabeth now have to decide if their failed plans were God's shut door or merely an obstical in their path. And if this is God's Window, will it be settling for less? Or could it possibly turn out to be more than either of them could have ever hoped for?
