I found this post very interesting. I ...Hello Lena. I found this post very interesting. I love to read books of this era. I never realized it was there that the saying "gold digger" started. Of course it is still a much used description of some people, women and men. I would love to win this book. If I don't win it I might have to borrow it from my daughter who has it. I have always been interested in your triplet series of the McKenna's Daughter series. I do have the first two by PDF now but still can't get the one about Catherine. I would love to have the print books on my bookshelves one day. Please put my name in for a chance to win.

I once was niave enough to believe that any two people could live together. I found out differently when I married a man that I had only exchanged letters and telephone calls with, after one visit. I found that people can present themselves in a light where you are attracted to them, and can actually turn out to be quite different when you live with them. <br />I love historical fiction (Christian)! And I'd love to read a story where it worked out in a positive way :)Robin Ennis Willsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220536622739826161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-38706867904999148842014-05-05T14:18:17.387-04:002014-05-05T14:18:17.387-04:00Thanks for stopping by, Nancy.

What great history. I can only imagine how tempting it would be for some poor, unmarried woman to be met by men offering money for marriage. Interesting thought.
