Crawford Family Series: Book 1 - 1887 Debutante, Julia Crawford endures a lifetime of subtle ridicule as the plump, silly daughter of a premiere Boston family. Julia strikes out on her own to gain independence, traveling to the Midwest to marry an aging shopkeeper and care for his mother. Julia finds her new home rough and uncivilized after the sophistication of a big city, while closely held secrets threaten to ruin Julia’s one chance at love.
Jake Shelling was sixteen and grew up quick when his parents died from influenza on the South Dakota prairie. Left with a half-cleared farm and two young sisters, he spent little time on his own needs . . . until now. At thirty-five, he figured it was high time to have some sons and a mail order bride would suit him just fine. No expectations of love, just a helpmate from sturdy stock, ready for farm life.
Will fate and chance play a trick on Julia and Jake?

It has a fresh approach with some surprises along the way. With so much being said in the introduction of the book I will say no more, not wanting to spoil it for readers.
I highly recommend listening to "Train Station Bride"; it is well worth a credit, or paying the purchase price.

Train Station Bride: Prairie Romance by Holly Bush is a good old fashioned western romance. The story centers around Julia Crawford who, being 27 years-old and unwed, is an embarrassment to her blue-blooded Bostonian family. Julia's mother and older sister try to set her up with prospective suitors who are old, unattractive and rude. Finally being fed up with her family's poor treatment, Julia decides to respond to an ad in the paper for a bride by a South Dakota shopkeeper. She secretly takes the train to Cedar Ridge and mistakenly marries Jake Shelling instead. Jake is a farmer who raised his two sisters following their parents' deaths; and now that they're both married he's ready to marry himself. Jake ordered a mail order bride himself and showed up with a preacher by his side, who married them on the train platform among the hustle and bustle.The rest of the story is Julia basically finding her self esteem and realizing her self worth. Life is not easy for Julia at first primarily because South Dakota seems uncivilized compared to the sophistication of Boston. But Julia is caring and has a can-do spirit. Jake is honest and, unconsciously, in need of someone to show him attention for a change. The secondary characters (Jake's family) enhance the story with their warmth, friendship and faith that Julia is exactly what Jake needs.
I listened to the Audible version of this story narrated by Meghan Kelly. She did an outstanding job, providing distinct and consistent voices for all characters, young and old. Meghan's narration certainly contributed to my enjoyment of this book. Great job!

It's a historical story about a young woman that leaves a prominent home on her own to marry someone that's she's never met. Through no fault of her own she ends up married to the wrong man. She learns to live her life as a rancher/ farmers life.
It's a quick and easy read and quite enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this to those that enjoy historical romance.
