Widow Mouse (Mountain Wives, #2)

J.R. Biery
4.18/5 (174 ratings)
WIDOW MOUSE
Mountain Wives Series: Book Two

Jeanne's father runs a trading post. When a hunter named Henri LeSouris, the mouse, offers his furs for one of the man's five daughters. Jeanne is traded and wed, with the promise that she won't be beaten or abused.

Henri is patient and gentle with the young girl, but he keeps moving in search of good hunting from the Alleghenies down through the Appalachian mountain chain. He finally settles in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, when pregnant Jeanne can travel no further.

The store owner, Jasper Sykes, is a veteran of the Spanish-American war. When Henri LeSouris, goes missing, killed and believed eaten by a bear, his widow becomes homeless. Jasper is nearly deaf, tall and intimidating to the young woman and most of his neighbors. Although he offers Jeanne and her newborn son food and shelter, he demands she pay off her husband’s debt.

Jeanne, called Widow Mouse, is shunned at first by the close knit community of Kyles Ford. She is a northerner, a widow living with a bachelor, Catholic, and perhaps worst of all, she can read and write.

Isolated, she learns Jasper isn’t an ogre, just shy and hard of hearing. She tries to help him overcome his handicap. But can such a strange couple ever find love and happiness?
