Description:
When an orphanage writes to Beth about one of their girls who loves chess, Beth feels compelled to visit and then to adopt the child as her own, but there's one problem. The law requires her to be married and there's only one pirate-cowboy she can think to ask even six years after Moscow. She imagines a quiet wedding followed by a quick divorce, but Benny has other ideas.
