Molly's New Song (Brides of Pelican Rapids Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Elaine Manders (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 264 ratings
Having lost her Georgia home, along with her brother and mother, to the war, Molly Stewart is left penniless with a broken father. She signs up with the Pelican Rapids Mail-Order Brides agency in Minnesota, and Mrs. Ella Milton matches her with local farmer, Luke Ferrell. An attraction develops between Molly and Luke after months of corresponding, and they decide to marry. Knowing her father will never agree to the match, Molly runs away to Pelican Rapids, taking her grand piano with her—the only thing saved when Sherman’s army burned her home.

Luke is smitten with the sweet, beautiful Molly, and will do anything to win her love, even building onto his small farmhouse to accommodate her piano. Molly admires her handsome fiancé, but rumors that he still loves another woman disturb her, and he wants to keep delaying their wedding day. And why is he reluctant to discuss his past?

But Molly realizes she hasn’t been totally honest either. When she reveals to Luke the reason her piano is so important to her, it opens wounds in Luke’s past that threaten their happiness.

    Molly Stewart decides to take her love life into her own hands instead of leaving it to her father. She finds herself becoming a mail order bride and heading to Pelican Rapids, Minnesota. Luke Ferrell is awaiting his new bride and trying to make sure the home is full set for her which means adding onto the home to include the piano she shipped and he didn't know about. I found this to be an incredibly sweet, clean, historical read. A story about love being able to overcome even the toughest of circumstances.

    I love Elaine Manders’ books, and Molly’s New Song is another wonderful story written by this author. Vivid description evoke the atrocities and difficulties of war experienced separately by Molly and Luke, leaving both broken and hurting. A product of her time, Molly understands how deeply she is breaking societal mores by running away from her father to become a mail-order bride. Luke is strong yet gentle, and filled with integrity. His frustrations with a friend’s mother who tries to push her daughter off on him are realistic and at times amusing. I felt bad for him as he tried to remain polite yet firm about his plans to marry Molly. Molly is sweet and her guilt at leaving home without telling her father and her grief over the loss of her mother and brother was handled with sensitivity. Historical details are accurate and provide information about the era without feeling dry or textbookish. Messages about salvation and forgiveness are woven throughout the story.

    I received a copy of this book from the author, and a review was not required, positive or otherwise. All opinions are my own.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2020

    A masterful and vivid read that gave way to a beautiful faith message of forgiveness, God’s grace and love. Molly was a resilient young lady that lost a lot during the Civil War. When an opportunity came to be a mail order bride she had fortitude and determination to follow through despite the circumstances of her dad. Luke was a strong and hardworking man wanting the best for Molly. What an amazing twist of events for him to be able to have her grand piano in his home. But watch out, trouble brewed on their wedding day. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Molly’s New Song and the 4th of July celebration that brought happiness and a new song. I look forward to reading more books by Elaine Manders, as I’ve enjoyed each one of her Christian Historical stories.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ~~Honesty and Forgiveness~~
    Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020

    Historical facts blended with romance and the realization that honesty and forgiveness are so important in a relationahip.

    Molly Stewart has lost everything except her father in the Civil War. She decides to become a mail order bride and 'meets' Luke Ferrilll, a farmer. The story takes a decided twist after she runs away to get to know him better.

    How important is honesty and being truthful in any relationship? As the author points out, both sides have to be open to discussing their actions...And, yes, forgiveness is also so important.

    Found it to be a most interesting read with characters that were well developed, a solid plot and historical aspects which contributed to this novel.

    Most highly recommended... and more multiple reasons..

    This book is about a Southern mail order bride leaving to marry a Northern former soldier. This book is about falling in love, his wanting to do all he can for his future bride.
    But this book is also about how people in the North & the South felt during & after the Civil War. The hurts people caused and the hurts they themselves felt is all included in this book even though it is about her, her father, and her future husband.
    Forgiveness was & still is how people receive their own forgiveness.
