Marry Me! Inc. is the story of women and men who in 1898 were, in various ways – romantically, entrepreneurially, innocently, nefariously – involved in a scheme to ship unmarried women to the Yukon's Klondike. There they were to be auctioned off to Dawson's miners who were, by then, rich and hungry for them. Most were willing participants. One young and beautiful - and defiant - Scottish lass was not.

Chapter 6, Father James O'Doherty. We now shift to Montreal to where Lorcan grew up. There we see what role Father James O'Doherty played in shaping Lorcan's (and Barabal's) fate.
