Synopsis: A woman decides to become a mail order bride but goes west under subterfuge – she already has a man lined up even though she will be supposedly matched up with a cowboy by the company who is paying her way. When she gets there, she can’t find him, so settles for an unappetizing but un-assigned man. Things do go downhill rather fast from that point onward.
Jordyn, you always get this way in the winter. You will come out of this once the sun hits the streets, you just wait and see.
No, I won’t. I hate all seasons here and I want to move to the prairies.
Now, you just settle yourself down and find yourself something to do, why don’t you go down town and buy you a new dress? That would make any woman get over the winter blues.
Jordyn had moved to New York to live with an Aunt when her parents both died with the fever three years before. She’d been sent to live with her father’s sister when there was nowhere else to go and no one else to take her in.
At seventeen years old she should have been satisfied with all the fancy dresses a young woman could have and young gallant men on her arm. Jordyn was not your average young New York lady. While other young women her age were thrilled with lavish parties being thrown on every account possible, Jordyn’s dream was her late father’s dream.
He dreamed of owning a horse and cattle ranch all his life and he would sit for hours and share his dreams with his little girl propped upon his knee. A banker had raised her father and the family came with riches and all kinds of treasures that played no part in her daddy’s heart. He had married into money as well and Jordyn’s mother was known as the Lady of the Ball.
Jordyn grew up beside all the finest of things and people and it had grown very boring to her, and if her daddy were alive today, she felt that he would do all he could to get her to the prairies. Her father had told her story after story that his elder brother had written to him about.
Her uncle had taken the leap of courage and had stepped out of the family’s fortune and he wandered for years until he was able to settle down on a ranch of his own and he had stayed in touch with her father through the years. Her father always envied the life that his brother had made for himself and he vowed that someday, he too would place his daughter among the prairies.
He, along with his wife, had come down with the fever and neither of them survived and his dream just settled among the noise of the city. Her Aunt had never understood her brother’s dreams and thought it was silly to sit and dream
