Summary
Summary
In Sixteen Brides by Christy Award finalist Stephanie Grace Whitson, Civil War widows living in St. Louis are lured west by promises of prime homesteads in a booming community. When the unsuspecting women arrive at Plum Grove, Nebraska, sparks fly as they meet bachelors convinced they've come to marry them. The widows will need all the courage and faith they can muster to survive these unwanted circumstances-especially since appearances are so deceiving.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Whitson is a wonderful author, and it’s a treat to read her post–Civil War novel. Her characters are quite memorable, and it’s a pleasure to watch them work their insecurities into positive attributes.”
—RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
“Whitson’s ambitious historical inspirational romance, set on America’s frontier in 1871, is a resounding success…Carefully researched details add color to this easy-to-read account, in which Whitson’s characters are boldly drawn and the setting neatly emphasizes their self-reliant natures.”
—Booklist (starred review)

Award-winning novelist Stephanie Grace Whitson began playing with imaginary friends (i.e., writing fiction) in the 1990s when an abandoned pioneer cemetery near the Whitson's country home provided
not only a hands-on history lesson for her four home schooled children, but also a topic of personal study. She has continued to write full time since the release of her first novel in 1995. When not
writing or researching, she enjoys reading, quilting, spoiling her grandchildren and/or Kona Kai (the golden retriever), and riding her motorcycle named Kitty.
