Publisher's Summary
A sweet Christian American Historical Romance.
Donald is expecting his mail-order bride; however, she arrives with a surprise—her baby niece. Although she had told the agency about Winnie, this wasn't passed on to Donald. He finds it very difficult to trust anyone, so this immediately puts a strain on the potential relationship. He also relies on a strict routine, whilst this is impossible with a young child involved.
The story shows how they gradually relax with each other, although he knows that Alanna is holding something back, which he finds extremely difficult to accept as he requires total honesty. Ultimately he has to decide whether to accept Alanna and Winnie or to send them away.
Set with a strong background of faith, this again shows how difficult it was for mail-order brides and their potential husbands to form relationships without the normal getting-to-know-each-other phase that we take so much for granted nowadays.
