Eighteen-year-old Penelope Langton lives a quiet life as a cook for a wealthy family in 1880 Chicago. She's resigned that her life will remain routine and uneventful.

With her friend gone and the family's nephew's early arrival, Penelope finds herself fighting for her virtue and looking for employment. Will Penelope find a way to freedom and safety by becoming a mail-order bride? A visit to the matchmaker seems her only way out, but will her new life as a bride be more complicated than the life she leaves behind?
