A Bride For Donnigan - Donnigan is a lonely bachelor who s friends have decided to get rid of their loneliness and send for a wife, right out of a newspaper add. Donnigan struggles with what to do then finally decides to go for it. Kathleen has a terrible homelife in Ireland and when she hears about an opportunity to get away from a life of selling baked goods on the street, she decides at the last minute to take the ship to America and a promise of a husband and a nice place to live. The only set-back is she has a limp and will her new husband-to-be send her away once he see s it. This book was hard for me to put down once I started to read it. It is one of Janette Oke s best.
Nice! - If all mail order brides came like Kathern I do believe we men of honor would give up courtship, and just send off for our brides.
One of The Best Of Janette Oke s So Far - I would like to tell anyone who is thinking about getting their first book by Janette Oke to get this one. It not only expresses how to find God, get closer to Him & live as a christian but is also a history lesson because it talks about life in the pioneer days. This book is a MUST READ!
Awesome, thats about it - I think that this book is awesome. I had to read it for school, so i thought oh great another boring book....one where i have to try to keep my eyes open. But, when i started to readd it...it kept my interest and i kept wanting to read it more and more. It is exciting and you never know what is going to happen next. It was easy to understand. Best of all when I took my test on it ...i got 100%! I was wicked happy!
A beautiful book! - This is a rare book! You cry right along with Kathleen as she struggles to find happiness and contentment. When she first was married to donnigan they didn t communicate very well and when they did Kathleen finally found a shoulder to cry on. She also found the truth. She could have happiness with God and she let go of her bitterness.
