      Chapter 1

      Jenny Phillips smoothed  the escaping tendril of hair before securing her ivory lace bonnet.  She swallowed again. Her throat felt parched, desperate for moisture. She always felt this way when placed in new situations. Jenny was about to travel nearly a thousand miles to meet a man she had never laid eyes on.

      When she boarded the train in St. Louis, the station nearest  her home of Edgewood, Illinois, there was no one there to see her off. Her stepmother, Edith, had already made plans to remarry. She had never cared for Jenny and after the death of Jenny's father, had advised her stepdaughter in no uncertain terms that she had mere weeks to vacate the family home. The grief and now shock was nearly overwhelming for Jenny. But on many a day, she  repeated her favorite scripture, Philippians 4:13:

      "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

      Just four months earlier Jenny's life had been transformed forever after her beloved father and brother  perished when the support beams beneath the bridge that they were working on buckled. That day, Jenny felt like a piece of her heart had been ripped from her chest. After the tragedy, she had hoped that she and her stepmother could be  a source of comfort  to each other. But it wasn't to be. Her stepmother barely mustered a tear at the funeral. Jenny could recall that Edith green eyes seemed remarkably clear on that sober day and the lines around her mouth appeared slightly smoother day by day.

      One week after the service for her recently departed brother and father, Jenny was rinsing the dishes one final time before placing them in the drying rack assembled on the counter top. She dried her hands on her apron, at the sound of Edith's entrance.

      With long, raven colored hair normally worn in a severe chignon and striking features, Edith was a handsome woman but too often her face was curled in a frown, except when her husband, William or stepson,Billy, had been around. Jenny's father had began to court Edith shortly after Jenny and Billy's mother had died from consumption. Edith was from a fairly prominent family but unlike her sisters, she had been still unmarried at the age of twenty-five. Jenny's father was the only suitor she had, a kind, hardworking man, widowed with two young children.

      Now that Jenny's father and brother  were gone, Edith dispatched with any pretense of familial affection.

      "The fact is, I'm going to sell
