Kimberly Woodhouse's The Express Bride (Daughters of the Mayflower #9) was an excellent read. As the story suggests it is about the Pony Express. A young mother flees her home with her young daughter before her abusive husband can hurt her again and or their new daughter. A young woman, Jacqueline Rivers' father has died and she is running the Pony Express and stagecoach stop. "Jack" is fearful that since she is a woman that she will be replaced. Meanwhile, two mysterious strangers show up. One is looking for a missing girl, who would be a young woman in her twenties. The other man works for the government and is looking for a counterfeiter. A very informative book about the Pony Express and life in the Utah Territory. The Express Bride is historical Christian fiction and reads with ease, has good likable characters, and is an interesting book. I definitely recommend.
