Synopsis

Where is your wife? Wesley Mayfield, an 1888 graduate of the Cleveland Medical School, takes his first position in the town of Wichita Falls on the plains of North Texas. There are things there that are not available in Ohio, such as a tornado or a prairie fire. Horses and cattle aren’t new but hundreds of them in one place at one time definitely are. He needs a nurse. Somebody asks the question every week, especially when it comes to that procedure. Never-married Wesley answers, “They’re all in the east.” “Advertise for a wife,” advises his friend Ike Tipton. Guided by his much-too-helpful minister friends, Wesley agrees. However, he wants God’s woman, so fliers are placed in churches from Boston to Atlanta. Now he must wait for the mail. Ike’s wife Beatrice is the postmistress and town gossip. Many residents of Wichita Falls are interested in Doctor Mayfield’s mail! Wesley receives several responses, but he’s interested in four, each with a unique perspective on marriage, faith, religion, nursing, and childbearing. As he considers each, one arrives—with notoriety, convinced that God has led her there.

À propos de l'auteur

KEN LORD For more than forty years, Ken has put word processor to paper, producing both fiction and nonfiction. Throughout his career, Ken has written edifying prose to entertain, inform, encourage, and challenge. Ken is a born-again Christian, focused on self-help publications and heavily involved in the ghostwriting of a variety of products—books for others, blogs, articles, and advertising copy. You may have encountered his writings among several “boxed” series of western and Amish stories, a few mysteries, a comedy, several war stories, and books of short stories—under somebody else’s name, of course. A Wife of Noble Character is exclusively Ken’s. He lived there. He saw these people, albeit in a different era. He has placed much of what he knows of the Old West into a Christian-themed story that honors the God who provided the talent. Ken and his wife live in Syracuse, New York.
