A Gunslinger for Grace

Mail Order Papa

By: Sarah Lamb

Narrated by: Spencer Dillehay

She didn't expect a gunslinger to answer her ad. Now, things have gotten complicated.

Grace just can’t do it alone anymore. When her husband died, he left her with a store to run and two children to take care of. Now, her son is friends with the wrong crowd and her daughter keeps sneaking out. When a string of vandalisms hit her store and the sheriff does nothing, she’s more than desperate for help and puts an ad in the newspaper.

James is passing through town after dropping off a criminal at the local jail. A gunslinger by trade, he moves from town to town looking for high-paying work. When he chances upon Grace’s ad, the thought of home cooked meals and an opportunity to rest for a while tempts him, and he applies.

No one else wants the job, so Grace reluctantly accepts his offer. But how will a gunslinger be able to help her with her children, the store, and stop the robberies? And why does she feel so drawn to the man who is like no one she’s ever met?
