Members Reviews:
Short story of new marriage and family.
I enjoyed the story. However it jumps over time quickly. Such as one chapter just learning about being a mail order bride and next all ready on stage heading west. It was shorter then expected. Thought was paying for longer story. There are 2 more parts of other books included to order when this story ends.
Voracious Reader
Great story of love and of faith. The hardships we may have to go through and how with faith, and God's help we can get through them
Enjoyable Audio. Nice story.
I was sent the Audio as a gift from the author. This is the first audio book I have read and really liked it. The audio made the story more alive, I guess you could say. The male in the audio is really good even though I did chuckle when he used the older female's 'voice' - but he was really good. AND the story, itself, was well written - as well as, very nicely voiced.
Not so sure I will listen to too many audio books, just because I am a printed book lover and it took me awhile to get used to eBooks, which I now really like. But I can see that for the blind or someone, especially older people, would really like the audio books. I think my mother would have really liked audio books because she was always a avid reader but for several years before she died, she was unable to hold a book, at least not for very long.
Insecure
Emma Winston is left bereft when her parents die. Though they lived a life of the wealthy in Boston, there is nothing left after debts are paid. Jim Hagen lives by himself on his ranch in Star Creek, Colorado. His help lives off the place and he is lonely. Each decides that a Mail Order spouse is the answer. Emma doesn't know anything about cooking or cleaning or laundry. But Jim is patient and kind. He even hires a woman to teach her the skills she needs. Emma is beginning to feel differently about Jim when tragedy strikes and his infant nephew comes to live with them. Emma's heart reaches out to the baby but she knows nothing about caring for an infant. Then a terrible thing happens. Will their faith pull them through?
I liked the story but I felt that it needed a little bit more.
