A Bride for Donnigan
Book 7 of the Women of the West (Janette Oke) series
223 pages · First published 1993
Kathleen O’Malley leaves England after answering an advertisement for a bride and crosses the Atlantic to marry a Western farmer she has never met. Donnigan Harrison has built a productive prairie homestead but knows almost nothing about the woman traveling toward him. Their marriage begins with strangers trying to turn an arrangement into a shared life despite different expectations and awkward beginnings. Janette Oke’s Women of the West novel uses the mail-order-bride premise for Christian historical romance about commitment, patience, and affection developing after the wedding plans are already in motion. A gentle frontier romance for readers who enjoy mail-order brides, awkward beginnings, and affection growing through patience after a practical arrangement.
