Florence

The Redemption of Florence GreenA Plus-Size Mail-Order Bride Historical Romance NovelBy Cherry HargroveWhen fiery, plus-size journalist Florence Green defies her controlling parents and refuses to marry their chosen suitor-the ambitious and deceitful Senator Scott Grant-she becomes the talk of Trenton, New Jersey. Determined to chart her own destiny, Florence answers a mail-order bride advertisement that promises faith, purpose, and freedom in the wide plains of Kansas.
But God's plans are rarely simple-and always miraculous. When Florence finally arrives, her intended groom, John Jones, takes one look at her radiant beauty and spirited confidence and realizes he's not the man she deserves. Stricken with doubt, John hides away at his family ranch and sends word to his closest friend, the town's honorable lawman, Sheriff Gabriel White. John confesses he's gotten cold feet and tells Gabriel, "She's the one God meant for you, not me."What follows is a divine twist of fate.
Gabriel meets Florence at the station, delivers John's letter, and-moved by both compassion and calling-asks for her hand himself. And right there, beneath a Kansas sky filled with dust and destiny, Florence says yes.
