Jolene Mail Order Bride

A BRIDE IN WAITING The war had threatened to take everything from her. It had practically banged its drums at her very door front. The flames had licked at the shingles and had nearly destroyed every crop her family had ever planted. Despite all this horror, Jolene waited for her husband. Each night she would kneel beside her bed and pray for his safe return. She could not imagine what he was going through but she knew it was horrific. She prayed every night for his return. And her prayers were answered. But not in the way she had hoped...
When he came back...he was different... And now her prayers were for her to restore what they had...what he had written about in those letters from a time that seemed like a whole lifetime ago.
