Summary

New York Times best-selling author LaVyrle Spencer presents one of her most beloved, enduring stories....

Hoping to escape the shame of her street urchin's life in Boston, Anna Reardon plotted a desperate scheme - to become Karl Lindstrom's mail-order bride in the beautiful, dangerous frontier of Minnesota.

A kind and gentle man, Karl forgave Anna for her deceptions. But there was still one burning secret she had to hide from him, knowing its revelation would destroy the love they had come to cherish.

This is a beautiful book I have read in paperback a few times. And loved.

The audio book was great. The accent was not always but it was easy to forgive, the rest of the narration was good.

Loved the characters and the story line. A great feel good story.

Off to find another of Lavyrl Spencer’s audio books 😄😄
