Until the Daybreak

Mail Order Bride #6

by Al Lacy, JoAnna Lacy

In this sixth installment in the popular Mail Order Bride series, Dorianne DeFeo is a lovely, loyal daughter to widower Franco DeFeo, who works on the docks in Brooklyn. When Franco catches two fellow workers smuggling diamonds, they stab him and he dies in Dori's arms. Persevering through her grief, Dori finds her employment opportunities diminishing and finally answers an ad from Arizona lawman Stone McKenna for a mail-order bride. Traveling west, Dori experiences another shock, and her tired mind shields her from more hurt with a psychologically induced blindness. Will Stone still want his bride now that she's blind? Will the young couple let God penetrate their pain? Can a miracle accomplish what medicine can't? Together Dori and Stone await the daybreak in the darkness of their lives.

Review:
This was my first time reading this book in this series by this author and i thought i'd enjoy it since it was Historical Fiction but sadly parts of it were just TOO SLOW for me.

The Characters were interesting which left in intrigued.

The Setting was interesting as well and very beautifully told that made me feel like i was in the 1880s with the characters.

Overall it was ok expect for Chapter's 6-10 which felt dragged on with lots of repeating. I will check out the other books in this series BUT This one just wasnt for me!!

A very sweet story about a mail-order bride who endures many terrifying circumstances both before she decides to answer a letter from a US Marshall and on the trip west. Faith, salvation, romance, healing, love, forgiveness, and sacrificial caring are present in the plot. Enjoyable!
