      Mail Order Bride: Woman & Child From Louisiana & The Cowboy Rancher In Texas

      By

      Beth Overton

      Copyright 2016 Quietly Blessed & Loved Press

      Synopsis: A woman and her daughter from Louisiana decide to travel to Texas to join a cowboy rancher who is yearning for a new family to call his own. They settle in and both mother and daughter become attached to the lonely cowboy and join with him in a mutual love for the ranch animals and family life. There are obstacles to overcome and the winter snows provide the first major crisis of the year.

      Virginia Lynn! hollered Anna, as she stood on the porch of the general store in New Orleans. Where are you?

      Anna found herself looking for her daughter Virginia again. At the age of 12, she was still inclined to go wandering off. The child had a wild bone in her body that made her mom go crazy most days. The problem was Virginia acted just like her dad, God rest his soul. He was a good husband and father until his death five years ago in a wagon accident. Unfortunately, he’d had a wild streak of his own and passed it on to his daughter.

      After he died, things had been harder for Anna and Virginia but they had done okay thanks to their neighbors Luke and Missy. Virginia didn’t remember much about her dad, so it was easier for her to learn to adapt to life without him now.

      At the age of 26, Anna was still a very young mother. The doctor had told her she couldn’t have more children due to complications. Anna would have been sad about this but Virginia was such a handful she thought maybe this was a blessing.

      Anna walked to the side of the general store and saw horses and wagons parked near a stable. She knew Virginia would be nearby petting the horses. She loved animals and always had. Anna walked over to the nearest wagon and spotted her filthy daughter petting a lady’s black horse and asking the lady a million questions.

      Virginia had very short blonde hair because she hated combing it and Anna didn’t have time to fool with her. She had blue eyes like her mom and a pretty smile. Anna had strawberry colored hair. The two of them looked a lot alike.

      Virginia, are you bothering this nice lady by asking her a ton of questions, Anna asked Virginia in a stern voice.

      Anna placed her hands on her hips to show her daughter that she meant business and not to argue with her.

      Mom, the lady was just telling me that her horse’s name is Isabelle and she has had her for a very long time. She let me feed her an apple, Virginia said as she bounced around excitedly.

      Well, thank the nice lady and let her be because we have chores to get to back at the ranch Virginia, Anna told her, sighing.

      She knew that Virginia couldn’t resist petting a pretty horse no matter how much she scolded her for running off so she didn’t even bother.

      Virginia thanked the lady and hurried to follow her mom back to the wagon that belonged to Pastor Luke from the church. Mr. Luke had let her and her mom stay at their ranch when her daddy had passed and she loved it. There were horses for her to ride, chickens to feed and it was Virginia’s job to milk the goat every day.

      Anna loved that her daughter was so happy to help do the chores around the ranch. She
