I really like
to read mail order bride books for some reason. I love the old frontier
stories. They aren’t deep, they don’t
take huge amounts of concentration and thought.
They don’t challenge the brain much.
I just enjoy them! Some authors
are able to make the stories very real by going into great detail on the
different ways they did things. They
didn’t have our luxuries back then that’s for sure. A woman who has a child before she is married
is really frowned upon and most don’t want anything to do with her, to employ
or to marry. Sarah Johnson slept with
her true love, they were to be married in the next few days. He was going to be called up to go to
war. He did get called up and his
captain wouldn’t even allow him to take a few hours that day to marry his true
love. She ended up pregnant, he
died. Her Father threw her out of his
home. A family friend took her in, but
when she passed, Sarah and her daughter had nowhere to go. Her cousin wanted to
marry her but she wasn’t about to marry a cousin. She found an add about Matchmaker and Co. and
decided to visit them. She was soon on
her way to marry a rancher and she sent a telegram stating when she would
arrive. Her letter and telegram arrived
but it was too late, her soon to be groom had been mauled by a bear and had died. His brother picked her up at the station with
his daughter. He absolutely was not
going to marry again. His wife had been
killed during a bank robbery and his daughter was the only one to see it. She stopped speaking then. He lived with his sister. He was going to take her to town soon so she
could see if she could get a job, but she fell off the porch and broke her
leg. He had to get to know her like it
or not. Soon he began to like her. Whether they end up together or she ends up
working in another town is for you to find out.
Her cousin comes after her he wants to marry her still. Read the book and find out! I received this
e-book in exchange for an honest review.
