Despite this blow right before Valentineβs Day, Angie gains courage when her bible study friends agree to all find husbands of their own as mail-order brides. Angie wonβt marry a man who doesnβt love her, and determines to set in place the means to escape the certain social devastation that will occur when her engagement is officially broken.
