Historia
Amy Redwing has dedicated her life to the Southern California organization she founded to rescue abandoned and endangered golden retrievers. Among dog lovers, she's a legend for the risks she'll take to save an animal from abuse. Among her friends, Amy's heedless devotion is often cause for concern. To widower Brian McCarthy, whose commitment she can't allow herself to return, Amy's behavior is far more puzzling and hides a shattering secret.

Revisado: 06-25-17
If you could sum up Mail Order Compromise in three words, what would they be?
Love wins again!
What did you like best about this story?
Brock *the "hero" tries to hide his wealth from his mail order bride by buying a run down house. Sarah the "bride", likes the small, old house better than the large and impressive mansion he actually lives in. Mistaken identity, bank robbers, amnesia...this book has it all!
Have you listened to any of Reagan Boggs’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't believe I have.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Sarah finally reralizes and professes her faith.
Any additional comments?
Another winner from Barbara...part of a series but does very well as a stand alone!
