Abigail

In New Hope, Texas, women, like children, are to be seen and not heard. Their only job in life is to marry, procreate, and be a loyal, obedient wife. Thus, the shortage of available women. Until Abigail Vanderhooten is unexpectedly called home, her head filled with ideas of changing the world, where a woman can own a business and have a bank account. This little rebel is determined to bring the town's laws into the nineteenth century, even if it means sacrificing her reputation. Jack Turner likes being the mayor in a small, quiet western town where the biggest rabble rousers are cowboys on Saturday night. Everything is about to change when Abigail Vanderhooten, a tiny sprite of a woman, returns to town, ready to take on the local laws. While trying to keep the town from splitting apart, he's surprised how her strong spirit captivates him. And he's shocked when she manages to worm her way into his bachelor heart, with her controversial ideas of women earning a living the same as a man. With a woman's revolution brewing, will Jack be forced to run her out of town before he has a chance to convey how she's changed him? Or will Abigail give up on New Hope, Texas, and return to Boston? Can love blossom and change a woman and a man with different ideals?
