This is a 4 in 1 book - 4 short novellas about Mrs. Mayberry's Matrimonial Society for Christians of Moral Character.
-- A Trusting Heart, by Carrie Turansky -Annike is going west as a mail order bride for Chase, a cattle rancher in Wyoming who has a 7-year-old daughter. But, she does not know that the letter was actually written by Chase's father who wants Chase to marry. Very sweet story of a girl who trusts the Lord.
-- The Prodigal Groom, by Vickie McDonough. Jolie is on the stage to Nevada to meet Hiram, her intended. But the stage was robbed and Hiram refuses to marry her when he hears that she had to spend a night with Clay, a man who was wounded in the attack. Instead, Hiram insists that Clay must marry her and must pay Hiram the money for her passage. I liked the way this author dealt with issues of forgiveness and of learning to love.
-- Hidden Hearts by Therese Stenzel. Elizabeth's aunt makes arrangements for her to be a mail order bride to Zane, a man in Nebraska who has two daughters. Zane and Elizabeth are both hiding secrets that they need to learn to share.
-- Mrs. Mayberry Meets Her Match, by Susan Paige Davis. Amelia Mayberry, the matchmaker of Mrs. Mayberry's Matrimonial Society, has helped 193 couples in 15 years, and is ready to retire. But there is still one prospective groom who does not yet have a wife - an older man who was a close friend of Amelia's husband. She is determined to find him a good wife. This was my favorite of the four stories.
