This is really a cute book. Anna is a recently orphaned 19 year old having lost her brother and father to the Civil War and her mother to having a broken heart. She finds a brochure advertising a need for nannies, cooks and wives in Seattle. She signes a contract to go west and become a cook at a logging camp owned by Joe Denton. Joe has signed a contract and payed $300.00 for a wife, without which he will loose 320 acres of his timberland since his wife has died and he needs a wife to be entitled to the entire 640 acres he has laid claim to and built a home as a lumberjack. Anna has sworn to never marry and when she arrives in Seattle, meets Joe and ends up at the church for a wedding, she puts her foot down, produces her contract and refuses to marry Joe. This is when the fun starts. Joe is determined to convince Anna to marry him but he only has 12 weeks left to do so. The book is full of humor as well as historical information.
