So-so.
The most interesting part of this story is how the main character came to be a mail-order bride. The most interesting character is the groom's sister. The groom and his children are peripheral at best and contribute absolutely nothing to the abrupt attempt at resolving what's supposed to be conflict. Formulaic and basic with few details.
This review is generic because I didn't want to add spoilers.

Inspiring
Doesn't matter what age, loss and heartbreak exists and hard to recover. What wonderful characters, you can just feel them. Beautiful story.
