Good book. The writing was very unusual as the author chose to describe what the characters were thinking and why they thought that way. I felt she was " talking down" to her readers. The story was good though, about a young woman with a shortened leg caused by an accident. Elaine was 22 and way too babied by her mother; so she walked on her own to a matchmaker, deciding to become a mail order bride. When she left Massachusetts by train and arrived in Kansas she was rejected by the groom and decided to marry another man,Caleb. She couldn't have made a better choice and the story tells of their many trials and how they fell in love. 4 stars
