Description
The youngest child of the local doctor and evangelical preacher, Annie Baldwin was expected to work hard and not protest. Life on a pioneer farm was tough so neighbors helped each other. George Richardson the underage Doctor Bernardo Boy, orphaned and shipped to Canada a few years earlier, is loaned to the Baldwins to help bring in the hay. Younger brother Peter Richardson was placed with another neighbor, so the brothers stayed in touch with each other. The Great War brought a lot of changes to life even in the back woods of Ontario. In spite of the differences in their social standing, George and Annie fell in love. When George departed for France they had an understanding and he promised to return to her when the war was over. Like so many others, Annie waited and hoped, carrying on as best she could. Only time would tell if her dreams would come true. If you enjoyed the work of Rosie James you'll love His Brother's Bride.

Editorial Reviews
This is an amazing story. It captures the heart and spirit of the young women growing up in Canada in the early days of settlement. The story is so real, so genuine, that there’s no way it appears like fiction. Anna, and all of her family members are simple people, which makes the story itself so very complex and compelling

Hope and heartbreak
World War 1 stories abound, usually set in England or somewhere in Europe. Even though I was aware of how deeply involved Canada was in the first world war, His Brother's Bride is the first book I have read giving an account of what life was like for a Canadian family during this time. I found the story of Annie, Peter, and George an engrossing read.Other titles by
