There are many thought provoking elements in this book but the main one that comes to my mind is discovery.

At age 18, Fannie sets off on a journey to Montana Territory in search of an aunt whom she has never met. She feels alone in the world and just wants to connect with someone since the death of her mother. The trials she encounters along the way change her from a spoiled, sheltered girl into a woman of substance. She gains strength - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Kind of sounds like life, huh?

Samuel longs to find his only sister who ran away years before. His journey will not only lead him into an unexpected but marvelously life changing vocation, he will also discover friendship and a deep, abiding love with Fannie. Kind-hearted is a most appropriate way to describe him.

Along the way, both Fannie and Samuel individually face what seem to be insurmountable odds but they persevere, overcoming fears and temptations, emerging with a stronger faith and love for one another. With a spiritual thread that is strong and sure, A Most Unsuitable Match is a beautifully written voyage of discovery, full of adventure, familial longing, heartache, and romance, making it a deeply satisfying read!

Bethany House provided a copy of this book for review purposes. I was not required to write a positive one, just my honest opinion, which I have done. No other compensation has been, or will be, received.

I received this book from Bethany House publishers for free in exchange for an honest review. I have to say I enjoyed this book a lot more than the last one I received. It's set back in the late 1800's and it is about a lady of a well bred background meeting and falling in love with someone who would not be acceptable for her in that time period. The book focuses on two main characters Fannie and Samuel. It follows them throughout their journey together adding history and intrique along the way. There is a bit of a mystery developing about Fannie's family that you need to read to understand fully and is a touching story.
The book delights the reader in joy and humor, but also shows the trials of traveling by ship back then and some tradegies that can occur. It is well written and engaging and was easy to follow along with. It's written with a christian viewpoint and is an overall lovely enjoyable read. :-)
