    This was a wonderful story about Anna, a mail-order bride escaping her less-than-perfect life in Boston, and Karl, the Minnesota homesteader originally from Sweden.

    Cute, funny, very enjoyable reading about Minnesota life. It's about a mail order bride for a Swede in Minnesota which develops into romance between Karl & Anna. --Karen Arlettaz Zemek, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"
