A Companionable Silence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224865390)

Although Mail Order Bride Janet Hough was hundreds of miles away from home....Warmth had settled in her gut, contentedness washing over her as she fell into step beside Ezekiel. She supposed it made sense; her home had never been a warm or loving place, and she had only made that worse for herself as the years went by.
This, however, was something new. A new place, a new beginning, something unknown and exhilarating. This was a chance to make things right for herself. Perhaps, once she settled in and got to know her husband, she would be safe enough to tell him the real reason she had left her family and life behind.
That was all a long way ahead for them both. For now she was content just to walk beside him, to feel his strong arm against hers and imagine what her new life had in store. The rest was going to take time, and perhaps that was all right. Janet was a patient woman, and she had already come this far, had she not? But what would Ezekiel's reaction once he found out her true reasons she left home...will it hurt him? Will he still want her as his bride?
