It All Started with an Ad in a Mail Order Bride Catalogue . . .
Melvin Hitchcock of the Hitching Post Mail Order Bride Catalog isn't dishonest---not exactly. If he tweaks his clients' applications a bit, it's because he's looking out for their best interests.
This charming bouquet of novellas introduces four Hitching Post prospects in the year 1870, each one eager for second chances . . . and hungry for happiness. Year in, year out, they'll learn that love often comes in unexpected packages.

My Take on the Book:
I really enjoyed reading this book. It is four individual tales of Mail-Order Brides. Each one is different and fun and I found it interesting to see how men and women relate, especially when they first meet. There were a couple of the stories I would have LOVED to read more about -- they could have been a full book if they had been explored a little more fully. I also loved that all four were connected by the Hitching Post Mail-Order Bride Catalogue! I really can't imagine being a mail-order bride, but it's fun and interesting to read about them.
Another great thing about the book, is that while each story involves Christ... none of them outright, throw it in your face. It makes this book a great one to lend to your friends who maybe aren't Christians but are open to reading a faith-based book.
I would definitely recommend A Bride For All Seasons... for you, for your church library, local library, high school library and for your friends!!
Enjoy!
