About this listen
A sweet Christian American Historical Romance.
Donald is expecting his mail-order bride; however, she arrives with a surprise—her baby niece. Although she had told the agency about Winnie, this wasn't passed on to Donald. He finds it very difficult to trust anyone, so this immediately puts a strain on the potential relationship. He also relies on a strict routine, whilst this is impossible with a young child involved.
The story shows how they gradually relax with each other, although he knows that Alanna is holding something back, which he finds extremely difficult to accept as he requires total honesty. Ultimately he has to decide whether to accept Alanna and Winnie or to send them away.
Set with a strong background of faith, this again shows how difficult it was for mail-order brides and their potential husbands to form relationships without the normal getting-to-know-each-other phase that we take so much for granted nowadays.

Heartwarming!
This story had some interesting twists and turns. I like to see what happens with these mail-order brides. The narrator did a good job narrating it.

good story give it a chance
I didn't think the narrator ruined the story. The story line is believable. It would be tough being a mail order bride under any circumstances. I enjoy clean stories from this author.

The story is interesting but the narrator mainly ruined it
The story was interesting yet could have offered more twists. I was fine with the narrator until it came time for introduction of Donald. Her male imitation voice is difficult to describe. With Donald, her narration of him is monotone, almost robotic. Yes, his character is rigid bit the voice sounds like a teenage girl exaggerating an imitation of male voice. I wish there was more depth to the main characters
