I enjoyed Mildred Colvin's flowing, captivating style. With the first paragraph she hooks her readers, and her Missouri Brides Trilogy is no exception. Each novella, Cora, Eliza, and Deborah, is filled with charm, romance, and downright delightful storytelling. However, there is just enough action and intrigue to call these stories more than "simple, sweet romances".
The author's idea for Cora's novelette came after hearing stories about her own great-great grandmother's moving into the wilderness of Southern Missouri. Pioneers did purchase land in Cedar Country, Missouri for $1.25 an acre and started building homes in 1832
In this day of rush-rush, it is a wonderful thing to find a cozy book, a snug blanket, and a comfy sofa in which to recline while reading one of Mildred Colvin's books. Missouri Brides is one such book. Run out and get your own copy, and the sooner the better. Ms. Colvin writes stories that touch the core of our being and make us long for more. Don't miss out!
