A Blacksmith for Birdie

By: Kimberly Grist

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A delightful mail-order bride in reverse that’ll melt your heart. A blacksmith in need of a miracle, a livery stable owner requiring rescue- Will an arranged marriage bring more than either bargained for?

A widowed blacksmith, Joseph Evans, is hardened, hard-pressed, and weighed down by the needs of his unusual family. If only he could find a housekeeper. But they’re in short supply, and Joseph needs one with the patience of Job. “I don’t want a wife. What I need is a miracle.”

Livery stable owner Birdie Murphy needs another pair of hands to save her family home and business. In desperation, she seeks the help of a matchmaker. “I don’t want romance. What I need is a single man without baggage or children – a business partner who’s honest, kind, hardworking, and uncomplicated.”

A satisfied grin spreads across the matchmaker’s face as she considers the surveys. Such a perfect pairing doesn’t occur often. After all, what we think we want and need are two different things.
