Four plus-size brides.
Four rejected suitors.
One biscuit riot that made Kansas history!
It's 1890 in Kansas City - a land of new railroads, new towns, and men so lonely they're willing to pay postage for a wife. But when four women of substance arrive on the same train, they discover that the prairie is full of dreamers, liars, and missing teeth. So they make a pact:
If he smells of whiskey, forgets his wagon, or can't spell 'supper, ' we reject him.
Meet Bloomingstar Whitefeather, Clara Rose, Josephine Langston, and Maggie O'Donnell - bakers by trade, believers by heart, and brides by contract (give or take a technicality). When their so-called grooms turn out to be more missing promise than promising, the ladies open their own business instead - The Runaway Bread Company.
That's when the real heat starts.
Between angry suitors picketing the boardinghouse, a fake food-poisoning scandal, and a courtroom full of chaos, the Runaway Brides become the talk of Kansas. When the judge finally bangs his gavel and declares,
If these ladies need protection and these men need sense, I hereby order four weddings-right now!
- everything changes. Suddenly the sheriff, the lawyer, the doctor, and the cobbler find themselves married to the very women they were supposed to defend.
What follows is a laugh-out-loud, faith-filled story of love by accident and grace by design-proof that God's plans may look nothing like ours, but they always rise like good bread.
And tucked inside this delightful novel you'll find a special gift: twelve authentic 1890s bread receipts (recipes) from the fictional Grace Creek Academy Cookbook, Receipts of 1890 - Bread and Blessings from Grace Creek.
Each loaf, biscuit, and bun carries a taste of history and the flavor of faith that fed a whole town.
Clean, faith-based historical romance with humor and heart
Four curvy heroines who bake, pray, and boss the prairie
Judge-ordered husbands and divinely arranged marriages
Authentic 1890s bread recipes you can actually bake today
If you love Hallmark-style western romance, Christian historical fiction, and laugh-out-loud faith comedies with heart and heritage, then pack your carpetbag and step off the train at Grace Creek, Kansas - where the biscuits rise, the prayers get answered, and even the rejections turn into redemption.
Because sometimes, when God rewrites your love story...
That's Grace.
