Jenny Higgins has arrived in town with her two younger sisters with the intention of finding suitable husbands for them. Basing her criteria for appropriate husband material on &#8220;<em>The Compleat and Authoritative Manual for Attracting and Procuring a Husband<\/em>&#8220;, Jenny soon finds that there is only one man in the area who meets those exacting standards. Unfortunately, neither sister can abide him and soon fall in love with totally unsuitable men. To complicate matters, Jenny finds herself becoming more and more attracted to Marshall Rhett Armstrong. Both Jenny and Rhett have things in their past that have convinced them that they do not deserve to be happy.<\/p>\n<p>Will Jenny overcome her stubborn determination to find suitable husbands for her sisters or will she allow God to choose the perfect men for them?

Nothing wrong with  this, except Margaret happened to be writing for the church newsletter.

She now has more than 20  novels to her credit. In addition, she\u2019s written many Christian articles  and a non-fiction book. Still, it took a lot of prodding from God  before Margaret tried her hand at writing inspirational fiction which  led to her Rocky Creek series. \u201cI love writing about characters at  different stages of faith,\u201d she says of the new direction her writing  career has taken, \u201cand I\u2019m here to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Happily married to her real-life hero, Margaret and her husband live in Southern California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MY REVIEW: A Suitor for Jenny is a humorous and entertaining story set in Rocky Creek, Texas during the late 1800&#8217;s.
