This is a book for a quiet afternoon.  Abby, a spinster school teacher, takes a chance and answers an ad for "mail order bride".  A widowed Texas rancher needs a wife to care for his three young children.  The story tells of her adjustment to life on the ranch and the family's adjustment to her.  The late 1880s were hard on the ranchers of east Texas and the book shares with the reader the joys and sorrows faced by the family.The book is well written and is a quick and easy read, perfect for that afternoon when you have nothing else to do.  I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the "Unconventional Series".
