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.
