REVIEW By LAWonder10:
      Trudy had taken her deceased mother's place for years. Now her father was okay and her youngest sister was married. Trudy felt certain she would find it hard, at her age, to find available men for marriage in St.Louis. She applied to the agency to become a mail-order bride to someone in the West. Another girl, Evie, was also applying there.The two became friends and agreed to keep in touch with each other and share in each other's adventures.
      After receiving devastating news, in order to "save face" in his small Montana town, Seth boldly claimed to have a beautiful bride coming. He then proceeded to answer an add for a mail-order-bride.
       When Trudy arrived, the terrain was very different from what she was used to. The man she was to marry met her at the train station. They were both satisfied with the physical aspects of their new relationship, if only they were compatible. They were married and the adventures began.
       This is a very good story of a couple, from very different backgrounds, and their efforts to create a life together. It is a story of compromise, attitudes, and self discovery.
       The character were very realistic and well defined. The scenes were vividly portrayed.
       The Narrator, Lara Asmundson, did an outstanding job in creating "voices", emphasis with pleasant sounding energy.

I offer a Five Stars rating in all areas of this book and narration.
*This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.
