“Just in time for the Holiday season, Barbour’s collection of Christmas novellas made an enchanting romantic escape. Three mail-order brides head west to seek new lives and hope for love as they meet their matches through Mrs. Mayberry’s Matrimonial Society for Christians of Moral Character. As a delightful conclusion, the fourth novella involves Mrs. Mayberry herself. I had the pleasure of reading my first Susan Page Davis story, and from the first lines, Mrs. Amelia Mayberry won me over. It takes a writer of refinement and grace to depict a character with those attributes, and Amelia was all of that and full of warm genuineness, too. Facing retirement from her matchmaking business, Amelia has one last loose string to tie–her late husband’s best friend Lennox Bailey. She had failed in her prior attempt to find Lennox a suitable wife, but with God’s help, she is determined to succeed this time. Will the matchmaker find the love she has sown out to so many other happy couples? These engaging stories are sure to brighten many Christmas seasons with hope, love and a happily ever after.” ~Kathleen L. Maher, posted Oct. 21, 2010 on Amazon.com and other online sites.
