Review: Sweet Romance Combined With History
Rating: 5 out of 5

Sweet and sometimes passionate romance based on true adventures of mail order brides are a winning combination for the author. The Mail Order Bride Series deserves and gets excellent reviews by people like me who are moved and entertained by the books.There are many books that document the campaigns and horrors of America's Civil War, but few deal with the aftermath. In The Widow Finds Love we learn of the post war reality of living in a nation stripped of young men. Many war widows and families were left in terrible circumstances as husbands, sons, brothers, and fathers didn't return home..It's hard to read this book without tearing up. The hardships experienced by American families during and after the war are well told in a way that takes you to post war South Carolina and Texas. It's a simple story based on fact and makes one wonder how people in those times found the will to press on.Kudos to the author for making the The Window Finds Love so believable yet so entertaining..
