Plot Summary of The Seven Brides: Rose
"When Rose answered the ad in the paper to cook and clean for seven men, she had no idea what she'd be getting herself into. Soon after arriving on the Randolph ranch, she's not sure which is worse: the hateful looks the younger ones give her or the way that George, the oldest, affects her whenever he's within twenty feet of her. Soon, nothing is as clear as it once was, including where her future is going. George hired Rose thinking that it would be nice to have a woman around the house. Was he ever wrong. Before he knows it, Rose is infiltrating his dreams and his daydreams, leaving him with an aching hole in his heart he knows only Rose can fill."
Meredith Griffin, Resident Scholar
