There are nine stories in this book and each of the stories include a bride being forced into an unwanted marriage by family members (most usually the fathers). The grooms are either totally unknown to the bride or are in some way detestable to the brides. The circumstances are so bad that the brides take matters into their own hands and sneak away the best way they can, some as mail order brides, some as women looking for jobs, some as nannies and caretakers. BUT while they are running away from someone, they are running to what they know will be a different life, they are just not sure how it will play out.
This is a five star book, two thumbs up, and the fastest train out of town.
