My Review

Mail order bride seems like the road to freedom, to dreams imagined, to a wide-open country full of beauty and surprises. Anne’s life changes with the “I do.” Do we ever want the greener pastures only to find mayhem and disaster? Even when we pray and follow God’s direction, events occur that bring so many questions. Does that mean the decision to follow is wrong? Does God’s plan include hardships and lessons along the way? Anne faced obstacles I hope never to encounter. Only through pray and hope can she endure the pain.

Braving the elements of the Oregon Trail would be difficult for anyone. I admire the strength and determination of the pioneers. I hope to glean a bit of their bold, bravery in my little sphere in present time.

Bravo, Rena Groot!
