(5) | Keine | Book 3: The Owen Family Saga. Winner of the 2013 USA Best Books Award for Western Fiction.Marie Owen yearns for a loving husband, but Colorado Territory is long on rough characters and short on fitting suitors, so a future of spinsterhood seems more likely than wedded bliss. Her best friend says cowboy Bill Henry is a likely candidate, but Marie knows her class-conscious father would not allow such a pairing. When she challenges her father to find her a suitable husband before she becomes a spinster, he arranges a match with a neighbor's son. Then Marie discovers Tom Morgan would be an unloving, abusive mate and his mother holds a grudge against the Owen family.Marie's mounting despair at the prospect of being trapped in such a dismal marriage drives her into the arms of a sweet-talking predator, landing her in unimaginable dangers."The harrowing experiences in early-day Colorado of 18-year-old spinster, Marie Owen, held me spellbound from start to finish. I couldn't put the book down. An incredible story, Spinster's Folly is one of the best women's novels of the west I've had the pleasure to read. Ever " Irene Bennett Brown, award-winning author of Before the Lark, the Women of Paragon Springs series, and the Celia Landrey mysteries"From family drama to neighborhood conflicts, cruel abuse and budding romance, a runaway bride and the suspenseful pursuit of a craven criminal, author Marsha Ward spins a suspenseful, fast-paced tale of undeclared love, cowardly deception, and gallant heroism."

You can't help but become totally immersed in the character's lives. Charming and earthy, Spinster's Folly is a grand addition to the Owen saga." C.K. Crigger, award-winning author of the China Bohannon historical mystery series"With a great sense of time and place, crackerjack dialogue and rich characters, Marsha Ward delivers Spinster's Folly, a romance, Western and historical novel rolled into one-and one fun read."
