First, the disclaimer. "I bought a copy of this book from a used bookstore. All opinions are my own." That done, LOVE FINDS YOU IN HOPE, KANSAS, is an earlier book in the wildly popular Love Finds You series--that I and so many others were so sad to see come to an end.

Rafe wasn't much of a God-fearing man even though his brother is a preacher, and didn't put much effort into instilling faith into his children after his wife dies. When the six kids decide Dad needs a new wife, they go after their mom's sister (who was only 8 years old when the mom married so she is much younger than Rafe.) Alison doesn't have the vaguest clue about how to be a wife, mom or run a house -- let alone cook -- do it has some funny moments.

If you like mail order bride stories with a twist, then LOVE FINDS YOU IN HOPE, KANSAS is one to consider. Not much of a faith message, but there is a lot of humor and some mention of church and praying.
