A very short story but the author did a good job of setting the background to why this pretty young girl decides to become a mail-order bride. It makes you feel for her when she finally arrives, meets and marries her husband and then finds out her situation is worse than the one she left behind. Thankful for her new husband and his willingness to stand by his wife, even at the expense of losing his brother. A good story with a heartfelt ending. ( )
