The entire town thinks she&#8217;s a stuck-up China doll princess who wants to do nothing but sit around in silks and satins all day, spending her husband&#8217;s money. Red, a townsman who assists with digging Griff&#8217;s (Cassie&#8217;s husband&#8217;s) grave, feels sorry for Cassie. When a few dangerous men fight for Cassie&#8217;s hand in marriage, Red steps forward, agreeing to marry the young pregnant China doll.<\/p>\n<p>Cassie has preconceived ideas about men, love, and marriage from her abusive marriage to Griff. However, her eyes are opened about a lot of things once she&#8217;s married to Red. Cassie discovers things about herself, having faith in God, developing friendships with others, and what it&#8217;s like to have a husband who loves and respects her.<\/p>\n<p>Cassie&#8217;s life isn&#8217;t all great once she&#8217;s married to Red. Wade, a drunken young man who pursues Cassie, will stop at nothing to win the China doll for himself. With Cassie&#8217;s life in danger, it doesn&#8217;t appear that true happiness lurks upon her horizon.<\/p>\n<p>I thought this story was sweet and charming.
