After two short marriages, Ash Morgan doesn't want another wife. But his uncle has taken it upon himself to send for a mail-order bride, saying that Ash's eleven year old daughter needs a mother. Deciding a docile wife from a finishing school may be what his daughter needs, Ash goes to the train station to meet Sarah Jane Porter. He is immediately smitten.

Hellion Sarah Jane would do anything to get out from under the tutelage of Miss Dorthea Cartwright's finishing school. So, she answers a letter requesting a woman to fill the role of docile wife and mother. Ash is in for a surprise when he gets to know his new wife.

This first half of this story was amusing. Sarah is very naive and blunt, sometimes shocking her new husband. The second half became predictable with nothing new in the story. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
