A Bride for All Seasons: A Mail Order Bride Collection
by Margaret Brownley, Debra Clopton, Mary Connealy, and Robin Lee Hatcher is a
lively and entertaining book!
A Bride for All Seasons: A Mail-Order Bride Collection by
Margaret Brownley, Debra Clopton, Mary Connealy, and Robin Lee Hatcher is a
great compilation of four novelettes. In
each piece the reader is jettisoned back into the 1800’s to the commonplace
practice of submitting an application to an add agency (The Hitching Post) for
a spouse.
Each author carefully weaves
an account of intrigue and creative circumstances surrounding the uniting and
eventual destination for each of the individuals seeking matrimony. The couples are brought together by a
masterful matchmaker, the owner of the Hitching Post, who allows his intuition
and power to intercept letters and add to or subtract from the initial
applications in an effort to knit the pairs together in perfect union. As each detail of the character’s life
emerges, the reader is taken on a beautiful narration journey with the end
effect of stirring up emotions of joy, compassion, sadness, and hope.
I immensely enjoyed the patterned format of this book. Once I read the first two mini-books, I recognized
that the remaining stories would continue to utilize the same meddling
character to orchestrate the marriages.
I found myself not wanting to put the book down in anticipation of
meeting the newest characters and unearthing what was changed in their
application that would actually become the glue to stick the couples together!
This is a quick, fantastic, heartwarming, and uplifting book
to add to your collection. In addition, I
actually learned a little history as I passed through the pages. I am confident that you will not be
disappointed in these authors. Enjoy!
