Summary

** "The Prairie Wife" by Arthur Stringer is a story capturing the journey of a young woman named Chaddie as she adapts to married life on a prairie ranch in the early 1900s. Instead of marrying the refined Theobald Gustav, as planned, she weds Duncan Argyll McKail, the “Other Man.” Told through Chaddie's letters to her friend Matilda Anne, the book reveals her inner thoughts as she humorously and honestly shares her struggles with loneliness and the drastic change from her previous glamorous life. Chaddie's initial experiences, including a funny mishap with a duck-gun, show her resilience and growing acceptance of the hard work and simple nature of prairie life, contrasting starkly with what she once knew. **
