Book Description:
When Catharine Olsen leaves Holland for Wyoming as a mail-order bride, she brings some extra baggage with her: two sisters, her mother's set of Blue Willow china, and a tragic past. As she steps off the train, Peter Andersen is glad to see that she is everything her letters showed her to be. But he is a bit perturbed by her unexpected companions. How will he support them all? And what other secrets might Catharine be keeping from him?
Filled with sweet romance and vivid characters, Deeply Devoted highlights a clash of cultures as a highborn European and a simple wheat farmer learn to love one another and trust God with the past—and the future.
My Thoughts: Catharine and her sisters had me giggling so many times, and poor Peter. He has waited for this mail-order bride to arrive however he was not prepared for her two sisters Anna and Greta to come with her. The girls were use to having servants in Holland and here in Wyoming they were the ones that were going to be doing the chores. They had no idea how to tend a garden, milk a cow, cook, wash or any other household chores. It was so fun to watch these girls learn the way of the west, and the love story between Peter and Catharine was so sweet! I was actually reading this during a football game and I never do that! Highly recommended!!!
