Courting Trouble **

Essie Spreckelmeyer has a bit more spunk than the normal woman in her 1894 town of Corsicana, Texas. While Essie revels in her unusual and spontaneous lifestyle, the eligible men of the town seem to disagree, which Essie's spinsterhood reveals. At thirty years old, Essie decides that it's time to stop waiting on the men to take the initiative, and makes her own list of men to court. However, the man she is most interested in is nowhere near the top of her list.
