They even got the good news that Carrie’s lawyer had succeeded in getting her conviction overturned and she would be out in a matter of months. Once released she set about trying to regain custody of her and Paul’s child, even finally amending the birth certificate with his name now listed as the father.
That fact alone helped them out as the adoption hadn’t been finalized with the new family yet and with Paul now as a legal guardian he was able to be granted full custody. Carrie happily joined them on the ranch, becoming another of Paul’s wives and giving him more children. By the time 5 years had passed from that first summer, he was the father to 8 children and husband to 6 wives. And to think none of this would have happened if he hadn’t returned home to fix up his parent’s old house. He thought to himself, maybe that town wasn’t so bad after all…
