this was a Christian book? NOT!! this book was so full of prejudice, anger, deceit, and a bunch of crap! I finished reading this book, because I wanted to see what other readers saw. how was this a good Christian book or even a good romance? it's not any of these things.**SPOILER** READ IT OR NOTmail order bride writes to father only, never any interaction with 30 yr old son. shows up to wed on same day, still doesn't see his face until AFTER wedding. he drags her (by hand) from church, to the ranch, there he berates a cow hand( who is his half brother) sorry you don't find out til the end of book when son and father are dead. a Christian book where the mother says she's glad her son is dead, and hasn't been this happy in 20 years!! really, this is a good book? I did not find ANYTHING good in this so called Christmas/Christian book. even the end was a joke. but I'm not laughing. This is the ending... the rich son finally kills another rich son, and that father gets involved, wants him arrested, so begins the chase, oh but nothing was done behind him beating his wife and caleb (the brother) because it's ok, they are not rich!!. the sheriff finally catches up to anders(the rich son) but too late, he is killed by another farmer and his father dies of a heart attack ( I guess) after seeing his body. after this matilda (the mom) tells Penelope they are both widows, but the ranch now belongs to caleb( who's mom is janet/the housekeeper) and now they can all be a big happy family with caleb in charge and he and Penelope can now be together. THE END!! there is a bit more, but I was just that disappointed in this book. and don't think I will get her next book. sorry
