Trail to Bliss Summary
| Harriet Goodspell is determined to bring religion to the wickedest city in the west, Contention City in Arizona Territory. She and her two disciples are stranded, their wagon wheel broken, when Josh Crandal stumbles into their campsite. Harriett believes God has sent him to fix their wheel. Josh had been kicked off a medicine show wagon, knocked unconscious and wandered in the desert. He is determined to get even with the medicine show operator and reclaim his money, horse and saddle as well as his pride. But perhaps fate or God has something up his sleeve, something that brings two unlikely people together. |

| Harriet Goodspell is leading her two friends in prayer before supper when a man dressed in an orange clown suit stumbles into their campsite. He sports several days beard growth and looks as surprised to see them as they him. Harriet plans to bring religion to the miners of Contention City in Arizona Territory. Back in St. Joseph, Missouri, where her father is a preacher, she read a newspaper accounting of the Godless western town, a town with no church and few women. Any decent woman fled the town leaving home and husband behind. Harriet (Hetty) determines that she will be the one to turn Contention City into a peaceful, Godfearing, civilized city. Joshua Blaines Crandal is knocked on the head and kicked off of Jim Clamerty's Circus and Medicine Show wagon and left to fend for himself in the middle of nowhere with Clamerty taking off with all Josh's money, clothes, horse and saddle. Josh aims to settle the score, but wanders in the desert for several days before he stumbles into Miss Hetty's campsite. Harriet's wagon has a broken wheel and fortunately the incident occurs by a small green spot in the Arizona wasteland. When Josh straggles in, she believes God has sent him to repair the wagon's wheel. At first glance, he appears to be a poor excuse for a man. Josh finds Hetty to be an uppity, prim and prissy woman, but she is kind, feeding him when he knows the women's supplies are low. He does his best to repair the wheel, but at first hasn't the faintest idea how to go about it. He had been a banker in his father's bank back in Savannah before he took off and let his wanderlust lead him west. Harriet's companions are Becky, whom Harriet had saved from Madam Fletcher's Bawdy House, and Marilee, a plain but cheerful woman who left her Illinois home and took her belongings with her by wheelbarrow to St. Joseph, Missouri. Josh fixes the wheel using ingenuity he had not know he possesses, but before they are ready to set out again, a cavalry troop arrives, led by a handsome lieutenant. Just as Josh discovers there is more to Hetty than religion and primness, this Adonis appears. What chance does a man like Josh stand next to someone as attractive and nice as the lieutenant? |
