Sweet, inspiring historical romance with heart-wrenching twists.

Former nanny, Bethany Jamison goes west as a mail-order bride to escape a lecherous employer who threatens to expose her part in a past tragedy. When she arrives in Wyoming, she’s shocked to find her prospective groom, Joseph Milner, caring for a desperately ill newborn, abandoned by her father when her mother, Joseph’s sister, died in childbirth.

Since he’s alone on his ranch, he insists the marriage take place immediately, but in name only. Bethany agrees, hoping to gain time to plan her future, but she quickly loses her heart to the infant clinging to life by a thread—and her new husband.

Can their faith and mutual love for this tiny baby keep them together, or will outside forces destroy them all?


Marilyn's thoughts:  Bethany Baby’s was another winsome mail order bride story by Elaine Manders. I was enthralled reading this book with the strong fortitude and generosity of spirit Manders had for Bethany. Despite hardships she endured as a child and issues when employed she was ready to travel to Wyoming to possibly become a mail order bride. The unexpected happenings Joseph was faced with when Bethany arrived surprisingly at his door gave way to more than she had anticipated. Bethany’s and Joseph’s story kept me spellbound until I finished this book. I was right in the midst of the characters lives living each tender and tense moment with them. This is my favorite book to date in Westward Home and Hearts Mail-Order Brides series. I’ll be awaiting the next book by Manders to read.

I received a complimentary e-book from the author and was under no obligation to post a review. I have expressed my own opinion.
