Aprašymas

A man-shy woman! A wedding-shy man! A preaching-shy preacher! And one conniving outlaw with plans - take over the town, then the Territory! Middle-aged Pearl King heads to Come-By-Chance, hoping for a quiet life of gentle female companionship, and time to dedicate to the causes she believes in - Equality for All - regardless of gender, race or religion. However, when she arrives in town, the entire place is in an uproar - with a preacher who won't preach, a Mayoral election campaign rife with corruption and Gold Rush Fever!And added to all that, it seems her friend, Beryl, has matchmaking on her mind too - involving Pearl and "Uncle" Maurice Carlson, who has been commissioned to build Beryl a grand home in the center of town. But it's complicated. Fearless campaigner, Pearl, and normally fearless dabster, Maurice, both live with the shame and scars of a failed marriage.As if all that isn't trouble enough, the town's popular Kate Davis finds herself up against Slim Jim Murdoch for the position of Mayor -- and it's hardly what you'd call a fair fight. And let us not forget our beloved Preacher, Ernest James Coy, who's come clean with his past and must now deal with the consequences.
