Tired of Waiting for a Match-Made-in-Heaven, She'll Settle for One Made in Texas Whether it's riding bikes, catching snakes, or sliding down banisters, Essie Spreckelmeyer just can't quite make herself into the ideal woman her hometown--and her mother--expect her to be.

Tired of Waiting for a Match-Made-in-Heaven, She'll Settle for One Made in Texas Whether it's riding bikes, catching snakes, or sliding down banisters, Essie Spreckelmeyer just can't quite make herself into the ideal woman her hometown--and her mother--expect her to be. It's going to take an extraordinary man to appreciate her joy and spontaneity--or so says her doting oil-man father. Unfortunately such a man doesn't appear to reside in Corsicana, Texas. It's 1894, the year of Essie's thirtieth birthday, and she decides the Lord has more important things to do than provide her a husband. If she wants one, she needs to catch him herself. So, she writes down the names of all the eligible bachelors in her small Texas town, makes a list of their attributes and drawbacks, closes her eyes, twirls her finger, and ... picks one. But convincing the lucky "husband-to-be" is going to a bit more of a problem. Join Deeanne Gist for another unforgettable tale and find out whether Essie's plan to catch a husband succeeds or if she's just Courting Trouble.

After reading this book, I felt is if I personally knew these people. Miss Essie seemed to come alive right off the pages. I felt as if I was reading a story that I already knew because of the the personalities involved. Great book and even greater writing.

She Did it Again!
Deeanne Gist is a great author. This is the second of her books I've read. I couldn't put it down. Nothing about her stories is formulaic. For a Christian book, it was shocking. The way she told of the downfall of the character was so believable, I wanted to yell at the book to stop her from making such a mistake. It follows the consequences of sin, and shows that God doesn't always answer our prayers the way we expect, even when there is forgiveness. I highly recommend this, and have, already.
