Every Preacher Needs a Wife, Right? Being a preacher in the countryside is not for the faint of heart nor faith. Four inexperienced preachers face a myriad of challenges including those who figure a man of the cloth needs a wife. Can they meet the expectations of "helpful" congregants and be true to their hearts? Convincing the Circuit Preacher by Carolyn Miller Australia, 1863 -- As soon as Dorothea Maclean saw the country preacher, she knew Mr. Hammill was the man of her dreams. Now she just needs to convince her wealthy parents--and Mr. Hammill. Mail Order Minister by Kari Trumbo South Dakota, 1889 -- Olive's parents mail-ordered a preacher and prayed he'd be a husband for their daughter. The rest of the town--and Olive--have other ideas. The Mountie's Rival by Angela K. Couch Canada, 1907 -- Tired of living in his twin's shadow, Jonathan Burton is frustrated to find himself serving as a still wet-behind-the-ears preacher in the same community as his Mountie brother. How is he to find a wife when all the eligible women of the community seem enamored by his dashing brother in scarlet uniform? The Angel and the Sky Pilot by Naomi Musch Minnesota, 1910 -- A preacher with a checkered past sets off to win souls in the lumber camps like the "sky pilots" before him. But can he earn the respect of hard-living men--and still respect himself--after a local trader's daughter joins the congregation?
