More about A Bride For All Seasons:
It All Started with an Ad in a Mail Order Bride Catalogue . . .

This charming bouquet of novellas introduces four Hitching Post prospects in the year 1870, each one eager for second chances . . . and hungry for happiness. Year in, year out, they'll learn that love often comes in unexpected packages.

My Thoughts
Four award winning authors, four books in one about four mail order brides. Now this makes for an interesting read. The man that operates the mail order bride catalogue appointed himself not just as a go between but as a matchmaker of his own making, editing letters without the senders consent. Some of the women have traveled a long distance to meet their intended only to find there was a lack of communication between the two. How could so many important details be missing? It was very apparent they all had been deceived. Most of the women had no money to return to their previous life or other circumstances which prevented them from returning.
Each story is unique in it's own special way. My heart ached for each family. The couples had faith in God that they were together for a purpose. Many of their personal problems gave them strength to carry on with the arrangement in hope for a better future, even though some were a little more skeptical than others.
I highly recommend this book.
I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
