Review: HEARTBREAK IN A BOOK
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 11 1, 2012
This is a quick read with a lot of realism.  Abby is a spinster from Philadelphia who comes west as a mail order bride to marry a widowed rancher, Brand.  He longs for his dead wife.  His oldest son longs for his dead mother.  The 2 younger children are more welcoming.  But, there is a lot of sorrow, and then an event which brings even more.  It is a love story, but it is also a tearjerker.  I liked the premise of the story.  But, be prepared to have your heart broken.  I don't want to tell the story.  I will say, if you are tender hearted  you need to be prepared.  It is a well written book, with good characterization and atmosphere.
