Holiday Hope by Shanna Hatfield
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You’re on a train headed from Cincinnati to Oregon as a mail order bride. Can you imagine all the crazy thoughts, hopes, and dreams you might have for the future? Will the man be handsome? Will he be a good husband? Will he treat me right and be faithful? Will we in time learn to love each other? Set in the Old West comes a tale of life and love. New beginnings can be very scary especially if you do not know what or who is waiting for you at the end of the train ride, one in which was robbed on the way to Holiday, her new home she hopes. Cora Lee full of hope for her future embarks on this ride and arrives to some very peculiar circumstances. Not being met by the man who ordered her but rather by his father. Settling into this new ranch and life, Cora Lee does find love, friendship, and a family. This was such a great story and easy to read. My favorite thing about the story is that it is told from many perspectives and the reader is privy to inner thoughts and secrets of all the main characters. It read just like a Hallmark movie, and I LOVED it! Pick up this book for an easy to read entertaining and uplifting story that truly does stay true to the title of Holiday Hope. Believe in the magic of having hope and know that all things will work out in the end.
