"Hoping to escape the shame of her street urchin's life in Boston, Anna Reardon plotted a desperate scheme--to become Karl Lindstrom's mail order bride in the beautiful, dangerous frontier of Minnesota.
A kind and gentle man, karl forgave Anna for her deceptions. But there was still one burning secret she had to hid from him, knowing its revelation would destroy the love they had come to cherish."

I thought this was beautifully written, but got a bit tedious in some parts. Karl explains, explains and explains things even more in great detail. But all in all a good read, with a couple of nice "tear jerker" moments.
