About THE
ACCIDENTAL MARRIAGE:
Nina
Rushforth was born with a silver spoon caught in her throat. She and her father
have mapped out a future that includes a brilliant legal career, a marriage to
an equally stellar attorney or Wall Street whiz kid, and eventually the
production of three perfect children. A semester at St. Andrew's University in
Scotland, was part of the plan, but falling in love with a handsome missionary
was not.
Six months later, after Elliot returns from his
mission and after a tumultuous courtship, Nina finds herself teaching at a
junior high school, learning to keep house in a minuscule apartment, and living
with a man who doesn't know any more about being married than she does.
Intimacy, cooking, laundry, lesson plans, and a tug-of-war with a possessive
mother-in-law prove to be more overwhelming than Nina can successfully manage.
The newlyweds awaken to realize the head on the adjacent pillow belongs to a
stranger.
This novel captures the heartbreak of young love
caught in the turbulent social crosscurrents of the 70's, at a time when brave
women struggled to find dignity and equality in the workplace, as well as peace
at home.
