Millie is an orphan reared in a home in Boston. When she turns eighteen, she must find work or be sent out west as a mail order bride. She chooses a man who has lost his wife to death, and he is left with four children and a farm. She agrees to be his bride. After a long train ride and hours on a stagecoach, she arrives in Minnesota where she is married to George Stevens within an hour. She realizes that her dreams about marriage are not at all what she faces. After a few mistakes, she finds that life with George and his four children are the life she wants. In the meantime she realizes also that although she considers herself a Christian, her ideas are far from true. She finds the meaning of life as a true Christian, and settles in to be a wife and mother to the children she has learned to love. This book was read within one setting, and I will read it again. Good reading!
