Review

Author Jody Hedlund has written and absolutely beautiful marriage of convenience story in her novel A Bride of Convenience.  The story is of pushing through the struggles of living in the colonies.  It’s about overcoming unexpected circumstances, including an unexpected marriage and then a rapidly growing family, as well as rediscovering a lost brother.  And most of there is the romance that will take away the breath of readers as swoon with the romantic tension throughout the story.  Readers will love the compassion and the love that Zoe has for orphaned children and the faith of Paster Abe and as they come to create a family all their own.  This story is delightful from cover to cover and readers will not want to set it down.
