Opis

From Germany To The Valley Of Silver - Two men in one small town, a bad boy and a rancher, send away for a mail order bride; the only problem is -- one woman arrives on the train a few weeks later. A rivalry develops between the younger and older man and the gorgeous, talented, and cultured mail order bride from Germany. From France To The Other Side Of Paradise - A Frenchwoman makes a long and arduous journey to a small town in California. When she arrives, her journey is not complete and the trek to her future husband is as dangerous as the much longer one across the ocean and across America. Her fiance is a mysterious man but it's the ultimate surprise, which he springs on her, that shakes her to the core. One Leg, One Arm, One Heart - A woman from England, missing an arm because of a birth defect, takes a chance on love to go out west and possibly marry a man with one leg. The only problem is she hasn't told her future husband about her arm. He rejects her and she decides to help others by making them limb replacements, but her heart is heavy from the loss of a potential husband who she grew to love through their letters. I Need You To Be My Hands - A woman who lost her legs in the Civil War decides to take a chance and become a mail order bride to a doctor in Wichita. There's much adversity to overcome in the rough town, what with rowdy elections and drunken cowboys, but through it all she grows closer to her husband while he becomes a famous forward-thinking doctor, and even designs a better working set of legs for his beloved wife. After overcoming adversity their entire lives, the medical couple don't know if they can overcome the challenges facing them, as they grow old together."
