Tombstone, Arizona, 1880s In the bustling Wild West town of Tombstone, two talented and passionate culinary artists, Sadie and Tripp, find their dreams intertwined as they work together to open a restaurant, and unexpectedly discover a love that surpasses their shared passion for food. Sadie, a skilled baker, is desperate to rebuild her life after losing her family's cherished bakery. When her sister's husband, Tripp's best friend, offers her an opportunity that could change her life, Sadie must leave her past behind and become Tripp's bride to fulfill their shared dream. Tripp, the adopted son of the Archer family patriarch Beau Archer, is a trail cook for Archer Ranch and a recent graduate from a prestigious culinary school. Despite Beau's disapproval, Tripp aspires to create the perfect dining experience for Tombstone's diverse population. To secure a loan for their restaurant, he reluctantly agrees to marry Sadie, with the support of the Archer family and Sadie's sister, Suzanne. As the booming town attracts people from all over the world, who crave eclectic cuisine, the miners who drive the local economy yearn for comforting, home-style meals. Balancing these contrasting desires, Sadie and Tripp face a tantalizing culinary battle as they work together to bring their restaurant to life. Together, they must overcome their differences and prove to the bank that their union is worth the risk. Along the way, they begin to question if their shared love for food is the only passion they have in common.

There have always been mail-order brides in America—but we haven’t always thought about them in the same ways. In Buying a Bride, Marcia A. Zug starts with the so-called “Tobacco Wives” of the Jamestown colony and moves all the way forward to today’s modern same-sex mail-order grooms to explore the advantages and disadvantages of mail-order marriage. It’s a history of deception, physical abuse, and failed unions. It’s also the story of how mail-order marriage can offer women surprising and empowering opportunities. Drawing on a forgotten trove of colorful mail-order marriage court cases, Zug explores the many troubling legal issues that arise in mail-order marriage: domestic abuse and murder, breach of contract, fraud (especially relating to immigration), and human trafficking and prostitution. She tells the story of how mail-order marriage lost the benign reputation it enjoyed in the Civil War era to become more and more reviled over time, and she argues compellingly that it does not entirely deserve its current reputation. While it is a common misperception that women turn to mail-order marriage as a desperate last resort, most mail-order brides are enticed rather than coerced. Since the first mail-order brides arrived on American shores in 1619, mail-order marriage has enabled women to improve both their marital prospects and their legal, political, and social freedoms. Buying A Bride uncovers this history and shows us how mail-order marriage empowers women and should be protected and even encouraged.

This study uses a combination of participatory action research methods and interview techniques involving 40 Filipino mail-order brides to form a picture of their overall economic & social situation in Canada. It begins with background on the research and the project methodology. This is followed by a review of the literature on mail-order brides & international marriages; information on the global & historical context for the arrival of Filipino mail-order brides in Canada, including the root causes of migration from the Philippines, immigration policies, and the growth of the Canadian Filipino community. Section 5 recounts six stories of Filipino mail-order brides and section 6 presents a profile of the 40 study participants. Section 7 presents study findings with regard to the women's situation in the Philippines, the bride-shopping transaction, and the women's situation in Canada, with emphasis on their vulnerability to exploitation & abuse. The final section draws on the findings of the study to make recommendations for policy development in five areas: immigration, violence against women & trafficking in women, women's economic security, human rights, and the legal system.

Complete with actual advertisements from both women seeking husbands and males seeking brides, Hearts West includes twelve stories of courageous mail order brides and their exploits. Some were fortunate enough to marry good men and live happily ever after; still others found themselves in desperate situations that robbed them of their youth and sometimes their lives. Desperate to strike it rich during the Gold Rush, men sacrificed many creature comforts. Only after they arrived did some of them realize how much they missed female companionship. One way for men living on the frontier to meet women was through subscriptions to heart-and-hand clubs. The men received newspapers with information, and sometimes photographs, about women, with whom they corresponded. Eventually, a man might convince a woman to join him in the West, and in matrimony. Social status, political connections, money, companionship, or security were often considered more than love in these arrangements.
