Then they suddenly have a bunch of kids in a time covering ten years over just a couple of chapters.  Then suddenly the focus is on he dad finding God.

    <![CDATA[She didn't even know his name...but she was about to become his bride.  Standing on the ship's deck, Kathleen O'Malley watches the land she has  called home slip from her view. She had thought she would be glad to see it  go, but regardless of the unpleasant situation she was leaving, it was at  least safe and familiar. America seems so very far away... At his prairie  farm, Donnigan Harrison anxiously awaits his bride's arrival. He has known  the wonder of a dreams fulfilled--a snug cabin, a sturdy log barn, a fine  herd of livestock, and crops in the field. But even with all that, he is  lonely. A notion that once seemed unthinkable had come to make sense, and  so he wrote a letter. But Donnigan's anticipation is overshadowed by  terrifying uncertainties: What have I done? And that question is echoed in  Kathleen's heart as she nears the port...]]>

    <![CDATA[Responding to an Advertisement, She Crossed an Ocean to Meet a Total Stranger and Became a Mail-Order Bride-&lt;/P&gt;<p>Kathleen O'Malley stood on the deck of the <em>Barreth Lily</em> and watched the land she'd called home for more than a dozen years slip from her view. She had thought she would be glad to see the last of it, but she was not. Emotions in turmoil, her whole being yearned to slip from the ship and return to what she knew. Even though Kathleen had not been happy with her situation, it was all she had ever known. As the shoreline faded into the morning mist, her only certainty was that she was bound for America to marry a man whose name she did not even know and whose face she had never seen.</p><p>On the other side of the Atlantic, Donnigan Harrison anxiously awaits Kathleen's arrival on a prairie farm far from her port of arrival in Boston. He has known the wonder of a dream fulfilled a snug frame cabin, the sturdy log barn and outbuildings, a fine herd of livestock, and crops in the field that made his eyes sparkle.
