Summary

Effie Scarsmore and Coralee Nye migrate west to Silver City, Idaho after losing their teaching positions at an Eastern private academy. Effie's fiancé, Milford Browne, has been in Silver City for more than a year, establishing his fortune and building a new home where he will live with his future bride. But when Effie and Coralee arrive unannounced, they learn Milford is steeped in gambling debt and has chosen to raffle off the unfinished house to pay off his creditors. Effie's furious and determined to teach Milford a lesson, so she announces that her hand in marriage is part of the raffle prize. When the burly carpenter who's been erecting the house wins the raffle, Effie finds herself betrothed to a large man who barely speaks English. She insists her friend Coralee is the ideal person to tutor him in English and the social graces. Effie has a whole scheme worked out. Coralee isn't certain she likes her role in it, for Effie's schemes have a way of going unexpectedly awry.... Fortunately for the two young women, Silver City isn't just any mining town. This one comes complete with a pair of resident guardian angels, Bliss and Echo. They have their own mission and plans for how human events unfold...with a little sprinkling of humorous heavenly grace.
