Frannie's Search for Love — Susan Hart

Francis Harrington, or Frannie to her loved ones, is an average-looking thirty-five year old. However, she sees herself as extraordinary due to her love for animals and children, strong moral compass and  longing for a life partner. In hopes of finding true love, she seeks help from a marriage broker, a woman about the same age as Frannie. They come across a rancher in Northern California, who seems like a perfect match for Frannie. After a few weeks of correspondence, the rancher, named Tom Langfield, sends money for travel expenses and a train ticket. Frannie is already packed and ready to embark on what could possibly be the greatest adventure of her life.
