Great story, as usual Debbie Macomber comes thru. Travis Thompson, a rancher who has never been married is raising his three orphan children and isn't doing so great, so they decide to advertise for a wife. Mary Warner, a shy spinster librarian answers their ad and finds the life she is missing. Good story and wonderful characters.
Very quick read!

Dear Mr. Travis Thompson,

I am responging to your advertisement for a wife. My name is Mary Warner, and I am a librarion in Petite, Lousisiana. I do sing, sew and cook very well, but I suspect that I am most needed in the lives of those three little ones left in your care.
I understand that you are neither looking for nor expecting to find true love, and given that I've gone so long without it, neither am I. In fact, though I blush to admit it, I know very little of men. So you needn't worry about any untoward advances or unforgettable nights of passion.
It is my sole hope that together we might be able to comfort the children and each other so that the light of caring, if not of love, might shine through the long, dark, cold Montana nights.
Looking forward to your reply, I remain,

Mary Warner
