A story of starting all over where you started after trying
to move ahead and losing everything you have worked for. Now Tabitha has to
move back in with her cousin who isn’t always nice. It seems there are a few in
her family that will have to learn a few lesson on life, love and happiness. It
is a different kind of mail order bride story, one that is heartbreaking in so
many ways. Here two people will meet one will fall helplessly in love the other
already has a bride on the way. When things get a little complicated when one
steps over the line and comes up with egg on her face. Her heart was in the
right place, but she did the wrong thing. As
the plot thickens how it can get any worse. I am so glad you asked because it
does in more ways than one. I loved every word of this story from start to
finish it truly was a great listen.
The narrator did a lovely job of narration, she really brings the story to life
making you see a side of the story that you would not have seen reading the
book. Her character voices are great, she puts a lot of power behind each
emotion truly giving you a
listen you get lost in. There was one place where wording was
repeated but in no way does it take away from the story. Besides that if any
breaks were taken I could not tell. It is a very clear and clean audio that
gives vivid details you almost feel like you are there with the characters. Her
performance was great, she pauses when she needs you, gives emotions that you
can hear in her voice. The narrator pulled me in taking me away on a delightful
journey I got lost in.
I really enjoyed the twists and turns the plot took, I also enjoyed how it was
a mail-order bride story but with a twist that makes it a unique story. I
didn’t really care for Tabitha cousin, but she has a lot to learn and learn she
does the hard way. By the end my heart really went out to her. Tabitha tries
her best to be a true friend to Thomas but gets herself in a mess of trouble.
She is a very strong person and is way ahead of her time, trying to make her
own way without a man. When
she is pushed into a relationship she pushes back. Thomas is just a sweet heart
to kind and good for his own good. He wants a bride and has picked her but
there are a few issues that most likely will not only hurt him but his pride.
The author gives you a believable story that pulls you in taking you away to
another time and place when things were not so easy and times were hard. People
got married to people they didn’t love and sometimes didn’t even like. You will
find a story inside a story here where a couple has to face some facts there
just aren’t ready for. It broke my heart to watch them. I loved this story from
start to finish and didn’t want it to end. From the narration to the author it
was a story I couldn’t put down with a powerful message between the pages. I
laughed, thought at times it was very funny and truly enjoyed watching the
drama and messes these to make of their life. I am looking forward to listening
more of the author and narrators work.

Summary
Tabitha: Bride of Missouri is twenty-forth in the

An orphan since she was ten, Tabitha Phillips was raised by a cousin who
resented her, and she went out on her own as soon as she could. When the
factory where she was working burned down, she was forced to return to her
childhood home under the scrutiny of her critical relatives.
As an employee at the post office, Tabitha isn't supposed to become involved in
the doings of her customers. But when one young man's heart could be broken by
a thoughtless letter, she sees a chance to make a difference . . . for herself
as well as for him.
