Great series
Vivi Holt is one of my favorite authors and she doesn't disappoint with this series. Each of the books can be read along but all have a common theme of people that are alone and needing someone. She makes each story interesting.

Alone
These four books are stories of girls who are alone in the word trying to make it the best they can. Their opinions seem few but they are strong and finally find what they need, a family.

It was very interesting how an orphan can come out ahead with work and more work. I was very happy for each of them and the support they got from their friends and family.

Each story is endearing. I think I liked Christy best but Holly second best. But each one is good. Each are orphaned and alone in the world. Each become Mail Order Brides and where you think they may never make that connection they do and all end happily married.
