The Lieutenant's Lady by Bess Streeter Aldrich

Fiction
An unknown American classic woman's romantic frontier story. Bess Streeter Aldrich has several books of short stories of rural town American life around the turn of the century--very much like Reader's Digest, Ladies' Home Journal or Yankee magazine stories. However, this novel captures the formality of the end of the Victorian age, blended with small-town honesty. The adventures she faces on her journey to tell her best friend's fiance that her best friend did not want to marry absorb readers to find out how the touching romance blooms!
