Handsome barber Finn Maynard enjoys a comfortable life in the 1870’s small town of Brownville, Nebraska. He has everything he needs...except someone to come home to and with whom to share his prosperity. With few choices among the local girls, he decides to take out an advertisement for a mail-order-bride. However, the first try doesn’t go so well. She takes his money and runs. Luckily, with a bit of encouragement, he tries again.

De situations cocasses ou tendres à la stupéfaction et à l'émerveillement devant cet être étrange et fragile, vorace et bruyant, dont les besoins impérieux structurent le quotidien en courtes tranches de temps, le livre comme la pièce réparent une injustice qui fait du bébé l'objet de très nombreux discours sans qu'il le soit jamais de la littérature. La mère et le bébé, l'auteure et son sujet, l'interprète et son texte... La légèreté et la drôlerie se doublent ici d'une sourde inquiétude intime.

Rugged lumberjack and sawmill owner, Sam Maynard, enjoys a happy-go-lucky life in the 1870s small town of Brownville, Nebraska. Seeking out a wife of his own is the farthest thing from his mind until he sees his brother, Finn, so blissfully happy with his new proxy bride, and it sparks a desire within his own soul to find a mate. The girl he might have been able to love, sadly, is already promised to someone else, so he turns down the same avenue his brother had taken - the matrimonial advertisements.
