I have trying to find a story that I read some time ago. The story starts out in either New York or Boston and the main character is a young man who sees an add for mail order brides and decided to try to trick the company with the help of a brothel of ladies who disguise him. On the train to his destination he meets an old lady and an orphan boy and is slowly changing into a girl but doesn't seem to realize she is female until she meets her husband and saves the boy from a hard life with the family who are only wanting him to do the work on the farm.

Looking for a story didn't mark as a favorite after reading it. In the story there is a kingdom where on the birth of the prince he is given blessings by the daughters and is cursed by their mother after she wasn't invited too attend his celebration of birth birth birth. Her curse is such that he can't see any women until the are married and he must be married by a certain age yet he isn't able to see any female but a boy dressed up as one of the girls at a morning prayer he sees and falls for.
