A Lantern in the Window

By: Bobby Hutchinson

Narrated by: Melanie Hastings

Ever wondered what it might be like to be a mail order bride? Or the groom, already married to a woman he's never laid eyes on?

On the Canadian prairies in 1886, having a mail order romance wasn't unusual. Noah Ferguson desperately needed help on his farm. Annie Tompkins knew she couldn't go on working in Lazenby's cotton mill. So she'd been a little less than honest in her letters, was that really so terrible?

It was unforgivable, Noah fumed. He'd wanted an older widow, and Annie was a young virgin. But even that wasn't the full extent of her lies.

Problem is, Noah hasn't exactly been straight with Annie, either, and his secret has the power to break Annie's heart.

Can even a special Christmas gift make their marriage work?

Sweet old school romance

This was a really sweet story. I loved the quaint homey feel it had to it. Even though Noah and Annie get off to a rocky start I liked how they didn't just give up like people do now. Melaine did a wonderful job narrating. Her sweet soft voice fit this story perfectly.

Selfish man!

Main male character was selfish & emotionally abusive. Main female character was kind& giving. I do not recommend.

A Lantern I the window

I liked the book, but it came to an abrupt ending!!It was really nice of his dad and him to accept both of them, after all the lies!

too short

it's a sweet little book with lovable characters the author did a good job the narrator makes you feel fluffy and nice

Love by mail order

This book was enjoyable and lovely to read. A love story about wounded hearts in the old west.
