I so looked forwards to the next installment in the Mail Order Brides Series. This story is choppy and comes off as being written in a hurry. I felt the characters could've been fleshed out a lot more as in previous books. Instead, the author just focuses on 'minestrone cures everything' being repeated many times, little Adam crying constantly and Jonah not saying much. When a neighbor (Alicia) dies in childbirth, It was only given a page and a half. I felt Lina overreacted after only meeting the neighbor for 10 minutes and the party that had been planned just disappeared.  I thought the author could've used that party as a memorial to Alicia and turned it into something good for the baby left behind. At the very least, she should have fleshed that scene out better.I had this book read in just a few hours and hope the next one is much better. This is too good a series to have this happen!
