correspondence with Theodore Reynolds. He seemed nice enough but a mine owner?
A gold miner who lives in an isolated mining camp that is miles from the
nearest town of any size? However, his is the first offer she receives, so she

prays she will find a way to fit in and be happy—and not leave him regretting
he chose her as his wife.

Reynolds finally built up enough capital to develop his hard rock mine, the
Lucky Nugget Mine, which has made him a rich man. Although his is only one of
many mines that now cover the region around Summersville, one thing about the
region has not changed—a shortage of suitable women from which to choose a
wife. He just hopes the woman from Columbus, Ohio, he found through the Matrimonial Gazette can adapt to the still wild and
tumble ways of gold country. A bigger concern? Why the rush to join him? Is she
running from something or hoping to cover an indiscretion? Hopefully, his luck
will hold.
