In Need of a Good Wife

Richly detailed, vivid, and unforgettable, this is an extraordinary novel about three women challenging the American Westâ€”and unpredictable fateâ€”for a future only the most daring can secureâ€¦

For Clara Bixby, brokering mail-order brides is a golden business opportunityâ€”and a desperately needed chance to start again. If she can help New York women find husbands in a far-off Nebraska town, she can build an independent new life away from her own loss and grief.

Claraâ€™s ambitions are shared by two other women, who are also willing to take any risk. Quiet immigrant Elsa hopes to escape her life of servitude and at last shape her own destiny. And Rowena, the willful, impoverished heiress, jumps at the chance to marry a humble stranger and repay a heartbreaking debt. All three struggle to find their true place in the world, leaving behind who they were in order to lay claim to the person they want to be. Along the way, each must face unexpected obstacles and dangerous choices, but they also help to forge a nation unlike any that came before.
