Janette Oke always writes in such captivating and beautiful ways, drawing the reader to be in the actual story. Great read!

Wonderful, refreshing to the reader who wants a good inocent book.

Another book that I actually read more than once. I absolutely love it.

This is a great book. I just finished it and I love the story. The end of the book gets a little preachy, but that is just Oke's way. I definetly reccomend this one.

This is the first Janette Oke book I have read, I really enjoyed it. I've heard of mail order brides but did not realize what would motivate young girls to do this. This book makes a lot of sense to me of why the girl would make such a bold move. I would recommend this book who enjoy a good clean love story.-Teresa

This is actually a book club hardcover book - not a paperback.

Mail order bride romance!

Great book, one of Oke's Women of the West, however the series is not related to each other, just that she wrote them and they are all set in the Old West. This was one of my favorites!

Responding to an Advertisement, She Crossed an Ocean to Meet a Total Stranger and Became a Mail-Order Bride-

Kathleen O'Malley stood on the deck of the Barreth Lily and watched the land she'd called home for more than a dozen years slip from her view. She had thought she would be glad to see the last of it, but she was not. Emotions in turmoil, her whole being yearned to slip from the ship and return to what she knew. Even though Kathleen had not been happy with her situation, it was all she had ever known. As the shoreline faded into the morning mist, her only certainty was that she was bound for America to marry a man whose name she did not even know and whose face she had never seen.

On the other side of the Atlantic, Donnigan Harrison anxiously awaits Kathleen's arrival on a prairie farm far from her port of arrival in Boston. He has known the wonder of a dream fulfilled a snug frame cabin, the sturdy log barn and outbuildings, a fine herd of livestock, and crops in the field that made his eyes sparkle. Yet Donnigan felt a loneliness on the western frontier that pierced his very soul. With so limited opportunities for finding a wife, the notion of ordering a wife that once seemed unthinkable had come to make some sense. Now that the time has come, Donnigan feels like a small boy waiting for Christmas.

But Donnigan's anticipation is overshadowed with terrifying uncertainties What have I done? And that question is echoed in Kathleen's heart as she nears the point of no return.
