Ever wondered what it might be like to be a mail order bride? Or the groom, already married to a woman he's never laid eyes on? On the Canadian prairies in 1886, having a mail order romance wasn't unusual. Noah Ferguson desperately needed help on his farm. Annie Tompkins knew she couldn't go on working in Lazenby's cotton mill. So she'd been a little less than honest in her letters, was that really so terrible?

Publisher's Summary
Brant Samson has fallen on hard times with the death of his beloved wife a year earlier from lung fever. Left with three children, he's desperate to find a mother for them. Ten year old Jenny does her best to care for two year old Ty, and fourteen year old Luke works the ranch with his father, losing himself in dime novels to ease the pain of his mother's death. Brant's options are limited since eligible women seldom pass through Two Rivers, much less settle in the small Texas town. In desperation, he places a classified advertisement for a mail order bride. Marrying a woman he'll come to know through a newspaper ad scares the bejesus out of him, but at this point, he's out of options.
Abigail Mary Vaughn always dreamed of having her own family, but caring for her elderly parents, as well as working as a teacher to help with finances, ended that dream. Her parents are now dead and she's faced with the reality of her dismal existence. After reading Mr. Samson's advertisement in the Philadelphia Inquirer, she garners enough courage to respond. Since she is considered an old maid at the age of thirty-eight, she'll more than likely spend the rest of her life in gut-wrenching loneliness unless she does something unconventional.
This is the first book in the Unconventional Series.

Sweet -- Touching!
At first I wondered if a book less than 4 hours long would be worth a credit, but I was unfamiliar with the author and wanted to judge for myself....and I can tell you, with a resounding YES, it was well worth the credit.
Be sure to have a box of tissue handy when listening to Abby: Mail Order Bride, you'll need it.
Verna Clay is a very talented author, and I hope Audible will be adding her next book in this series, as well as other books by Ms. Clay.
Although Amy Gramour's voice is rather monotone, it is pleasant and did not distract from this touching, true to life story about a Mail Order Bride from the East traveling to Texas to care for a family of four who had lost their wife and mother the year before.
I recommend it all soft-hearted romantics.

Not worth a credit…
Sorry to say but this story is not only obvious but sadly very boring. Nothing intriguing; anyone who’s ever read a novel knows where this one is headed. Nothing about the characters are endearing, nothing about the story is intriguing. If you only have one credit I would spend it on some other book. If you’re into romance novels I would try one of the gazillion that Nora Roberts has written. If you’re into westerns, I would try a Tony Hillerman or his daughter but you have to like a good murder mystery to enjoy the Hillermans. At any rate, Mail Order Bride is droll and uninteresting and there’s no way I’m spending another credit on the next one in the series…

Very monotone narration ok story
The story remains very superficial, I didn't get emotionally sucked in like a good romance novel can do.
The narration is pretty poor. Part of it is simply because I find the lady's voice annoying, but most of it is her monotone rendition of the story.
There were a few occasions where I wanted to stop, but in the end I did listen to the entire book.
Don't feel like I wasted my time, but at the same time wouldn't ever listen to this book again.
