The African Vegetable Market Bride — Susan Hart

An African woman starts to read a newspaper wrapped around vegetables she just bought at a local market, and finds a few mail order bride wanted ads, which facinate her. She makes a big decision and corresponds with a rancher in the U.S.  This is in the 1850s.  Finally making a plan of action, she sets out and finds not only a man to love and eventually, hopefully, a family, but also a mission which will save her part of the world.
