Miss Birgit's Dilemma

Birgit Andersson fears she may never find her place in life. So, the blonde-haired beauty answers an advertisement to become a mail order bride. She travels from Minnesota to the western frontier to marry a mountain man and start anew.
By the time she arrives in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, she discovers she has been widowed before she has a chance to be a bride. With a faithful mutt, named Fritz, at her side, the stubborn Swede ventures forward to the mountain cabin that was to be her home. When her deceased mate's friends begin showing up, she puts them to work transforming the dingy cabin and mountain clearing into a tiny, working farm.
Just as her dream is about to become reality, a Silvertip grizzly wreaks havoc, followed by a drought and the threat of a fire-breathing storm that could turn the whole place into ash.
