I really liked this story because I felt like it is every mother's dream to see if her future son-in-law has what it takes to be her daughter's husband. It would be kind of fun to make it a story about how the mother puts her future son-in-law through a series of test versus just having him go to the field to work. I think that through the tests his true character would show and that in the end, he was not the right person for her daughter. I really like this scenario because I think that too often women do not take into account their mothers opinions of their significant other and sometimes the mom ends up being right. Personally though if my mom didn't like my future husband I would not marry him. Another thing I may do in the rewrite is not had them get married because divorce is just as sad.

I have grown up an OU fan and always look forward to the hustle and bustle that game day brings. I am really sad that this will be my last y...

Her eyes were sparking, her teeth were pearly white, and on top of that she had a wonderful personality that drew everyone to her.  Zerah was always the talk of the town. She had men trying to court her from cities both near and far. Even when she was in the comfort of her own home she would constantly have men come to her door in attempts to win her heart.

Her father was worried about her safety so he sent two men with her to protect her along her journey.
