This story just didnt speak to me; the plot line is common enough: A mail order bride arrives in a small town in time to find out that her intended husband isnt going to marry her. In fact, Cooper Thorne didnt even write the letters encouraging Delta Dandridge to come.
Delta, not having money to go back home, decides to stay. I can see that she was kind to everyone because she wanted a place to belong. But to me, she soon turned into a regular Pollyanna.
However, I couldnt believe she let Cooper into her room late at night with no promise of marriage. She couldnt say no or she wasnt thinking about her future; people in small towns were extremely moralistic and would have been shocked by her behavior. Had they known, she would have been shunned and that would have been the end of her Women of Vision organization.
I scratched my head throughout the book; some things didnt seem logical. Because Ive read so many books with this general plot, I looked for something that would set this book apart that it had a different perspective or insight. I didnt find it and felt the story earned 3 stars.
The main characters had a lot of internal conversation with themselves that said the same things repeatedly.
