Out Of Wedlock

Interesting characters in non-typical occupations and a rural Canadian setting make a nice change of pace. In this story, an unmarried mother is working as an automobile mechanic in her grandfather's gas station when she meets a man who runs a foster home for troubled boys ... Description from the book back cover: Two years ago, Ashley MacCulloch had been young and trusting and in love; but the man she loved had let her down, and she had been left with an illegitimate baby to cope with, no easy thing to do in a small community in Nova Scotia. But somehow, although her parents had turned her out and she had been branded as a 'scarlet woman' by most of her neighbours, Ashley had survived it all. Now Michael Gault was asking her to marry him. But could she accept, knowing that she was only doing it to give her child a father?
