Review: Unbelievable premise but nice anyway

I really liked Margaret's character; she's spunky and she goes after what she wants. Unfortunately, that really doesn't fit with her obvious low self-esteem issues. If you can put aside your knowledge that women simply would not ever seek a mail-order husband, especially not in the 19th century on the western frontier, then you can enjoy this cute little story of a young woman who is waiting for a young man and his older brother with four small boys comes instead to marry her. Her adjustments to motherhood were very amusing, especially the bits about how her little boys were determined to help her. It reminded me of the times my daughters tried to "help" me when they were small. Taking everything into account, I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to others as long as they don't expect realism in the story.
