Headstrong, nonconforming Essie Spreckelmeyer is at the heart of this Texas based historical romance-gone-wrong. Her love for the outdoors, wildlife and adventure come second only to her determination to find and secure a husband. Known as the town spinster, thirty-year-old Essie has no time to lose in her pursuit.
Going to great lengths to procure the man she has decided on, Essie’s innocent exuberance for life is more than her pursued can take. Hurt and more than a little put out by his thwarting of her plans, Essie delves into her fathers newest pursuit, oil drilling, placing her directly into the sites of a gorgeous if not trustworthy drifter. Alas, her naivety and need to be desired leads her into a misadventure so big, only God can redeem her.
A lighthearted escapade, this is not. Courting Trouble is ripe with human frailty, error and sin. Yet Gist reminds us that even in our deepest shame and remorse, God is there for us, providing grace and forgiveness. Once we are ready to surrender completely, God is able to step in and reveal His perfect plan…
