Left destitute and alone with her mother after her father abandoned them, Erin Saddler is shocked when she learns her mother has arranged for her to be a mail order bride to a Mr. Rich McNettle. But they are out of money, and marriage is their last chance for a stable life. So Erin agrees to travel west to wed this man she's never met. But when a stagecoach accident and a brave man step in to her destiny, she begins to believe that God has other plans for her.
Half white man and half Paiute, John Green is used to being shunned as an outcast. So when he meets lovely Erin on the coach headed west, he is shocked that she doesn't turn away from him. And after he saves her from a terrible accident, he is even more shocked to learn that he is beginning to love her. But Erin is engaged to be married to a man in town - the same man that hates John with all his heart.
With a battle looming between the Paiutes and the Army, and a battle raging in their own hearts, John and Erin are forced to take a stand that could save them all - or forever end their chance at happiness.
Members Reviews:
A good listen but needs more deapth on the story
If you could sum up Mail Order Bride: The Surprise Bride Saved by the Heartbroken Indian in three words, what would they be?
To short for the type of story it is. It has such wonderful writing and plot but needs to be longer to make it a more believable story
What does Meghan Kelly bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
The emotion of each characters, she brings feeling into the read giving it a meaning.
Any additional comments?
This is a story about pain from a father abandoning his family and an Indian who has felt nothing from most of the white man but painful hurtful words. This was a wonderful plot and a great base for a story however it was way too short and too fast for the type of story it is. I loved the characters and the meaning behind the story this just moved to fast.
Ms. Kelly as the narrator I thought did a wonderful job her voice is clear and even tone. I felt she did a wonderful job on her character voice and their emotions. I heard no background noise just a clear and clean audio. There was one place where she repeated her words my guess is this is when she took a break. It is noticeable but doesnt take away from the audio at all. There are a few places where her natural voice that she sounds like she is reading or more robotic. It is not that way throughout the book just in places. I have listen to some of Ms. Kellys samples in audios which I found a few to be this way but not all. I am guessing some are earlier work and other is later work which she has grown in. I found this to be a wonderful narration with a few bumps but nothing that takes away from the listen which is very enjoyable. Her character voices are outstanding you have no trouble understanding who is talking and what they are feeling. Her male voices are as pleasant as her female ones. She brings the audio alive painting a picture that you can see clearly in your mind. I am very much looking forward to listening to more audios by this narrator.
I feel this story could have been so much more had it been longer giving the main characters time to get to know each other. I felt they fell in love to fast not truly knowing much at all about each other.
