Crippled Mail Order Bride Walks Down The Aisle For The Very First Time
Thrown from the orphanage on the morning of her 16th birthday, Kitty Nisbet hobbles the dirty Boston streets on her crippled legs. Despair grips her.
All looks impossible until she meets an elderly stranger named Molly White who insists she has an answer for Kitty’s plight.
The answer will take all the courage Kitty can muster and more, and will carry her further than she ever thought possible. And with her, a message for the Western frontier town called Salvation – one that will change countless lives forever.
The Valentine Brides collection is a celebration of the miracle of love and faith, set in the rugged romance of the old West.
Interview With The Author
What kind of stories do you enjoy writing?
My favorites are Clean Romance short stories, especially Mail Order Bride. I love writing historical Western romance novellas and short stories. I also write a cozy mystery or two. They are such fun!
Your books often contain an element of faith as well as clean romance and love. Is that important to you as a writer?
Yes, my faith is important to me, and as an author clean Christian western romance is my heart passion. I love being able to tell a story, be it an American mail order brides series, a Mail Order bride and babies tale, or a historical western romance novella, and at the same time bring a positive message of hope, faith and love to uplift readers.
Are all of your stories Clean reads?
Yes, every story I write is clean and wholesome, and I find that language and sex free Mail Order Bride books are just as good as those that include such things. I don't think that offensive elements are necessary to tell a great story, and I always ensure that I write great Christian Western romance free of anything that might compromise my readers in any way. The main thing for me is always the story, and the characters. A great plot is what makes a story worth reading.
Where do your brides and their stories come from?
Mail Order Brides of the west, east or sometimes even foreign brides jump into my imagination every day, each telling their own special story! I have mail order brides of Texas, New York, even Liverpool, England. So many places, so many tales to tell. I get an idea for a book or a series and when I begin to write the stories often take on a life all of their own. Just like my readers, I am often on the edge of my seat eagerly waiting to find out what will happen next! I even have a few Mail Order Husbands cooking. :)
What would you like to say to your readers?
Just two short words. Thank you! I think many authors take their readers for granted, but without you there would be no stories. A story only really comes alive in the hand of a reader. My readers are the reason I write, the reason I can tell my tales. Without them, well, there would be no story to tell. Every email I receive, every review that is left - every one of them means so much to me.
Why should a new reader pick up one of your books?
If you enjoy clean Christian Western romance and mail order bride romance free from smutty themes; if you love great romantic stories full of surprises; if you love delightful characters and happy endings, any Terri Grace book will be thoroughly enjoyable for you.

I'm not a big fan of MOB's, but the title of this one grabbed my attention and I wanted to see what it was about. I'm glad that I did. The story begins with a 16 year old girl who is thrown from the orphanage that she has lived in all her life; why, because both of her legs are crippled. Later in the story we find out why. While she is looking for some kind of job, having absolutely nothing of her own, she comes across a marriage office. She goes in to find a job and leaves with the hope that she would find a husband.
In the West a preacher needs a wife, someone who can reach this rugged town for Jesus. When this crippled girl arrives he isn't sure what he should do, so he brings her to the only place in town he knows she will be loved and cared for, the orphanage. Here our heroine finds love and care, something she never knew at her other orphanage. She also finds a way to minister to the children there, which leads her to ministering to the people in her new church. As time goes by she isn't sure that the preacher will keep his promise to marry her, which is a heartbreak to her, but in this town she has found acceptance and love, something she never had before.
I really liked the Christian message in this story and the life lived by our heroine, her trust and faith despite her situation were such an encouragement. You don't often find that in stories. I can't count the number of stories out there where people are angry with God because a hardship has come into their lives - oh, they eventually see how they've been wrong, but you get a whole story of anger. In this story you get faith and joy and peace in the midst of an incredibly difficult situation. It's not long and I read it in a couple of hours, but I got a whole lot of joy in reading it!
This is a clean, wonderful read.

Can she do it?
So young, so hurt. No one to help her. No place to live. No one cares. Or do they? A very short time needed to read this story, but well worth it. Love is being able to do so many things.

A beautiful story of young lady with such grace a her belief in God
The title has a double meaning and I did not figure I out until the very end. What a wonderful, well written short novel. I experienced all of the feeling and emotions as I read a book. It made my heart smile.

Missing parts
I thought the book was good,but there were missing parts, per my opinion. Did she adopt Olive? Did her mother have a good back story? Did you keep making clothes to raise money for the orphanage?

Crippled Mail Order ride Walks Down the Aisle for the very First Time, written by Terri Grace, is another sweet read for the Valentine Brides Series.
Kitty is a girl who grew up in an orphanage that is crippled from birth and decides she must become a mail order bride in order to survive in this world due to the fact that she has no family. Matthew is a Preacher in Nevada waiting for a response from the mail order agency and finally he receives it. As soon as Kitty gets off of the stage she falls and hits her head and Matthew initially finds out that she's a cripple young lady. He prayed for the Lord to send him the perfect wife for his ministry, but there had to be a huge mistake in sending him a woman who was crippled and have a hard time getting around town. Could God have made a mistake in sending this beautiful albeit crippled woman to him to be his bride? Will there ever be a wife for him to walk beside him in the ministry?
I was gifted this book in exchange for my honest review.

I love Terri Grace stories about mail order brides and the old west. Reading about how brace these women were to go West to find husbands is amazing. Now, add in some kind of disability and you have a whole different kind of story. Truly wonderful. Highly recommend. I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
