About this listen
This historical Western romance novel is the first audiobook in the Mail-Order Bride of America series. Southern Belle is the prequel to this series.
The Mail-Order Brides of America series features an orphan girl who lives in "Mary's Home for Girls", which is located in North Carolina. As each girl becomes an adult, some choose to become a mail-order bride. Each story will be based in a different state and will be a stand-alone.
In this first audiobook, having been abandoned as an infant, Savannah grew up in an orphanage in North Carolina. When she was 15 years old, she was given the opportunity to live in Mary’s Home for Girls, which was operated by a kind childless couple.
Five years later, Savannah knew it was time to leave and allow another girl to take her place. She decides to become a mail-order bride and starts to write Austin, a man who lives in Iowa.
Austin owns a farm he inherited. He loves working the land, but he is lonely and wants a wife with whom to share his life. After following advice from his best friend, he brings Savannah to Iowa to marry.
But marriage wasn’t all he had expected. There are adjustments that need to be made on both sides, and neither of them realizes they are hurting the other. Then the unthinkable happens, and he loses his wheat harvest in one day. Austin decides he needs to leave and find a job so they can make it through the winter months.
When he returns, will they both be able to forgive each other and make the changes needed? Will Savannah realize her Destiny is in Iowa with Austin?

Between 1850 and 1930, around 250,000 abandoned and orphaned children traveled from the East Coast of the US to various cities and towns throughout the nation on what would be known as the orphan trains. Most came from New York City. Posters were placed around town advertising "Homes Wanted for Orphans"; usually a committee was formed to help facilitate the adoption. These children were supposed to be adopted and treated as family members, but this was not always the case however, and sometimes they were placed in less than ideal circumstances.
