Eliza has answered a mail order bride and is going to held in the store that he runs. She decides to arrive early to surprise him. Only to discover he (Axel) wasn't there!!! While she waits for him to return, she works with her fiances partner, Will, who starts to fall for her and she for him.
Eliza encounters many troubles from her arrival in town until when her fiance returns. Will always seems to be there to help her. She tries to help her to become the doctor he wants to be.
Eliza is a very strong and determined women. Something that is rare to be seen in the time period that this is set in, especially since she starts and runs her own general store.
Will struggles to follow what he really desires to do. He wants to be a doctor, but lacks the resources to fulfill his dreams. While most of the town people are supportive of him and go to him for help, the town doctor is not supportive of him and won't help him.
I really enjoyed this book. I enjoy historical fiction books and have read many books about mail order brides. I can't imagine traveling far from home to marry someone you have only every written about in letters. As Eliza learned, letters don't always tell the full truth about the person.
Ms. Jagears does a great job in describing the story and pulling you into the story and what is happening.
I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers for the sole purpose of this review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expresses herein are my own.
