More DescriptionThe white pine forests of Northern Minnesota surround Stavewood, the beautiful Victorian estate of T. Elgerson. After the death of his wife, Mr. Elgerson faces a dilemma. He needs a mother for his son, but wants nothing to do with falling in love again. He seeks only a civil union, a business arrangement, and he places an ad in May of 1892. Across the sea in London, England, Rebecca Fagan's husband has been murdered, exposing his secret life as a gambler and womanizer. Rebecca is left devastated and destitute. She responds to an ad and finds herself traveling across the world, as a "Picture Bride", a mail ordered woman embarking on a journey of mystery and adventure. Stavewood is the story of a man and a woman and a home in a rugged land, seeking hope and a promise for something better, and finding what neither of them expected.
