He only married her after a few months because he felt her being at his home might sully her, but he moved out to the lean-to and moved her and her two children into the house. It was so all so amazingly sweet, and beautiful I’d like to remember it. I know, I know, I can just see your eyes rolling.

Are you absolutely certain that it’s not Janette Oke’s _Love Comes Softly_? That’s the plot, right down to the lean-to. Was there a scene where they were planting corn in the garden and started to have a good time, and realized they might actually be falling in love and freaked out?

And to the rest of you: Oh, shut up. I was a voracious reader as a kid and it was what my mother kept in the house.

That’s what I was thinking of. Made a tv movie of it and everything.
