Curvy, Curvier, Curvaceous in the Wild West: Forbidden love, (Paperback)

<p><i>Curvy, Curvier, Curvaceous in the Wild West</i> is a sweeping, faith-driven historical romance set in the 1890s, following six plus-size missionary nurses whose lives are reshaped when compassion collides with rigid religion.</p><p>Known collectively as <b>the Curvies</b>, these women were not named for beauty-but for what the world believed disqualified them. Trained at a strict Chicago mission where silence was praised and joy was restrained, they learned to nurse bodies without ever being taught how to value their own. Their faith was sincere, but narrow. Their futures were assigned, not chosen.</p><p>Each woman had been paired through a mission board to a minister already stationed in the West. Letters were supervised. Expectations were fixed. Marriage was framed as duty, not love. The Curvies boarded the train believing obedience was holiness.</p><p>Then Bristle Creek happened.</p><p>A sudden stop, a deliberate poisoning, and six dying soiled doves forced the Curvies into immediate action. With no time for approval or permission, they stripped beds, burned contaminated belongings, prayed through the night, and fought death with everything they had. Two pregnancies are discovered. None of the women die. Mercy becomes an offense to the town.</p><p>As the crisis deepens, the Curvies face violent judgment disguised as righteousness. A sheriff with a complicated past chooses to protect life over public approval. Texas Rangers arrive wounded from a shootout. Rail guards hover between life and death. And something radical begins to unfold: love born not of desire, but of shared endurance, prayer, and service.</p><p>The saloon becomes a hospital. Rejected women become caregivers. The soiled doves are restored, redeemed, and later married into safety. The Curvies themselves fall in love-not recklessly, but deliberately-with men who see their strength rather than their shape.</p><p>Letters from the West arrive, revealing a faith built on control rather than compassion. Engagements are broken. Systems are challenged. And what was meant to be a short delay becomes a permanent calling.</p><p>By the end of the novel, Bristle Creek has been transformed. A school rises. A farmers market opens. A community forms around dignity, labor, and grace. And the Curvies-once hidden, corrected, and dismissed-stand as founders of something living and lasting.</p><p>This novel blends: <br>- Faith-based historical romance<br>- Plus-size heroines<br>- Medical crisis and frontier justice<br>- Redemption of fallen women<br>- Gentle, non-explicit romance<br>- Community development and healing<br>- Scriptural grounding and hope</p><p><i>Curvy, Curvier, Curvaceous in the Wild West</i> is ultimately a story about what happens when mercy is lived instead of regulated-and how God's plans exceed every human system, exactly as written: </p><p><i>"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think..."</i><br>- <b>Ephesians 3:20</b></p>
