'Mary Minds Her Business' by George Weston is a novel that begins with a secret conversation between sisters, Cordelia and Patricia. Fearing the family line will end with them, they hatch a delightful plan to find their brother Josiah a young wife, to ensure the continuation of their lineage. The story unfolds with a gentle intrigue as they search for the perfect match, leading them to the vivacious Martha Berger from California. With humor and warmth, the sisters orchestrate a meeting, and as fate would have it, sparks fly between Josiah and Martha. As the plot unfolds, the tale beautifully captures the essence of sisterly bonds, love, and the pursuit of a legacy that spans generations.

For the second time it was Cordelia who broke the silence.[...]".
