New to me author
Sophie flees an aggressive man who won’t leave her alone. She finds Ned in the mail order bride advertisement pages. He is only looking for a caregiver for his baby daughter. Can Sophie keep herself from falling in love with Ned?
I question the fact that Sophie lived with Ned without being married. Back in those days, her reputation would have been in shreds. Otherwise a short and sweet story.

Need sunglasses, so bright
Loved the story, just the boxes in the start of each chapter is bright white, blinding, I read white text on black. The white bothers my eyes.
If you have vision issues you may want to reconsider this one.

Sophie and Ned
I liked reading about Sophie and Ned dealing with their fears and learning to love. The baby was an interesting twist to the story.
