Review: Good novella

I liked the characters of Maude and John. I felt sorry for Maude being forced to marry Horace, and couldn't imagine why her parents would be okay with it. I felt Maude was a very resourceful young woman, who took it upon herself to change the course of her life. Being a mail order bride would have been scary, too, which shows just how desperate she was. I was glad to read John was so good to her. I'm also glad Horace got what was coming to him, and Maude found out her parents really did love her. I was left feeling like the book ended too quickly, though, which is why I gave this four stars.
