Helena’s Colonel
A Colonel with a broken heart, a mail order bride wanting to heal it and a baby girl without a mother. Can love heal all wounds?
Young Helena’s intention when she applied to be Colonel Joseph White’s mail order bride was to be his wife and mother to his sweet eight-month-old baby girl.
Except that when she gets to Montana, she realizes that she was invited under false pretenses. Her mother in law had something else in mind—a young lady to take her son’s mind off his beloved wife, who has passed on.
Not marriage.
Her heart aching for Colonel Joseph and his baby, Helena decides to stay and help as much as she can. Only she has not reckoned on falling in love with the quiet, detached man who is obviously in so much pain.
Will Colonel Joseph return her love? Can she heal his wounded heart? Are they destined to be a family?

Delightful, Heartwarming
Helena's Colonel by Faith Crawford is a heartwarming story. The author shows the depth of despair, grief, melancholy, and sadness that over comes some people when your loved one passes. The characters are believable and I liked them, not the mother. It just ended very quickly. My free opinion. Thanks

I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to others that enjoy the experiences of being a mail order bride. The story is well written and believable which I find very important in the escape from the here and now. Give it a try escape with Helena and the Colonel you won't be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this book and the characters were very moving full of emotions. The connection between Helena and baby Susie was a joy to read about.
Helena set off from her home and parents to start a new life in Montana with widower Colonel Joseph White and his 8-month-old baby girl called Susanna. Helena had applied to the agency to be a mail order bride but had no correspondence with the Colonel who was a successful landowner and had been in the army.
