Book Review: Deeply Devoted (The Blue Willow Brides, #1) by Maggie Brendan

Deeply Devoted by Maggie Brendan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To tell you the truth I don't pick up books like this. I really really don't. But as soon as I opened it started to read it, that's when I just couldn't stop. I read this whole book in two weeks (blame school and that I have only one more week left of it before I graduate!!) and honestly this has to be one of my favorite books that I've ever read. I never thought I'd pick up a book about Cheyenne, Wyoming or about Mail-Order Brides, but I did.

Catharine Olsen left her beautiful Amsterdam for Wyoming as a mail-order bride, bringing her two sisters, Greta and Anna, along with her, along with her mother's set of Blue Willow china, along with a tragic and horrible past. She's going to meet and marry a man named Peter Andersen, who is a wheat farmer, and they did....but for some reason (apparently I'm cursed) Peter's mama, Miss Clara, decided to hire a private investigator to look into Catharine's past.

But at the same time, she didn't know she was going to fall for the private investigator till the end, when she found the documents about Catharine's divorce from her now ex-husband, and felt so terrible for what she did to Catharine and Peter, driving a wedge between them. But Peter forgave her, and now Anna is staying with her so she can start school.

Greta started a relationship with a local solider named Bryan, whom Catharine and Peter didn't like at first because of how he was courting her and how they were sneaking around. But at the end Bryan had to go to a different Army Base, making Greta miss him by writing letters like Catharine and Peter did in their six months writing to each other before she came to Cheyenne.

Other than that this book was cute and wonderful, with the sisters settling in Peter's farm and learning how to live in the farm and the faith of the Lord, along with the troubles of the farm with the wheat not growing this year and the locust keep swarming around. But in the end it was amazing book and I really do reconmend it a lot!!
