After reading Butterfly Palace, I kept my eye on this short story since I wanted to find out what happened to the White family. I ended up paying $0.99 for it and found the time to read it today.
This stand-alone story tells the story of Elli. She's come from Finland to America as a mail order bride for Nathan White. She's brought trouble with her, though. She suspects that the man who's responsible for her father's murder is after her, but she's not quite sure why. She dreams of settling down with her handsome new husband, but the danger is great and she thinks he just wants her to take care of his niece and that's it.
This was a quick story - about 100 pages - and I liked it. With it being that short, the action moves fast and so does the relationship, almost too fast. Mention is made of characters from Butterfly Palace: people like Belle, Lily and Andrew are mentioned but not in such a way that the stories are dependent on each other. Good Story!
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
