Interview with the heroine in Unlawfully Wedded Bride by Noelle Marchand:
1. Kate O’Brien, tell me the most interesting thing about you.
I’ve been taking care of my little brother and sister, Sean and Ellie, since my parent’s died two years ago. I’ve been running the farm and farming the land by myself. I thought everything was going fine but apparently my siblings decided I needed help so they ordered a husband for me.
2. What do you do for fun?
I haven’t had much time for fun since my parent’s died but that has changed a bit since Nathan arrived. We all went stargazing the other day. I suppose that was fun.
3. What do you put off doing because you dread it?
I’ve discovered that there is no benefit to putting things off. It’s best to tackle things as they come to keep rather than let them stack up later.
4. What are you afraid of most in life?
My greatest fear is letting my parents down by not taking care of my siblings. I’ve been doing my best to provide for them. If I’m honest, sometimes I’m afraid that won’t be enough.
5. What do you want out of life?
I want my family to be well taken care of. I want to be able to keep our farm. Don’t tell anyone this, but to be honest I’d some of the weight of life’s responsibility to be lifted from my shoulders. I’ve felt that way every once in a while since Nathan got here. It’s nice.
6. What is the most important thing to you?
That’s easy. My family is the most important thing to me. Surely you weren’t expecting another answer. I’m afraid I’m getting a bit predictable.
7. Do you read? If so, what is your favorite type of book to read?
I read the Bible. Every once in a while I might read a bit of Sean’s dime novels but that’s about it.
8. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I’ve been told I have a bit of a temper. I suppose it would be nice to be a little more level-headed.
9. Do you have a pet? If so, what is it and why that pet?
Dogs and cats seem to be appearing practically out of nowhere. We have a dog named Lasso. The children say they tried to find his owner but I doubt they tried very hard. We also have cat named Flick whom Ellie is particularly attached to.
10. If you could travel back in time, where would you go and why?
I’d go back to the moments before my parents were about to leave on the trip that would end their lives. I’d make them stay home even if I had to take the wagon apart with my own hands.
