Declan O'Bryan left Ireland to seek his fortune in the New World, but the journey was long for a man without a penny to his name. It took years of back-breaking work as a sailor and a journeyman for him to finally reach Montana, and to have enough money to his name to earn the title of proud homesteader. There's only one thing missing from his life now, and, unlike the boys in town, he's not convinced a man should find a wife in a catalog, the same way he buys a plow.

Bible passages with a hint of a story
Would you try another book from Victoria Otto and/or Nancy Isaacs?
no - as this book was way to religious for my liking.
What do you think your next listen will be?
not sure
How did the narrator detract from the book?
she did ok
What character would you cut from Mail Order Bride?
The first wife and 2 daughters...
Any additional comments?
This book was not to my liking it was too religious for my taste. It seemed to be mostly Bible/scripture readings and very little actual story. In fact the 2 main characters do not meet until close to the end of the book. The 'romance' part is very far fetched, they meet, marry that same day, he is rude to her and then all of a sudden that night they discover they love each other... the end. Very abrupt end. I would have liked more story between the 2 of them, and show how they actually get to like each other and discover they do love each other and want to start a new life.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
