She is staking her future on a man she's never met. Can she learn to love him?
When Catharine Olsen leaves Holland for Wyoming as a mail-order bride, she brings some extra baggage with her: two sisters, her mother's set of Blue Willow china, and a tragic past. As she steps off the train, Peter Andersen is glad to see that she is everything her letters showed her to be. But he is a bit perturbed by her unexpected companions. How will he support them all? And what other secrets might Catharine be keeping from him?
Filled with sweet romance and vivid characters, Deeply Devoted highlights a clash of cultures as a highborn European and a simple wheat farmer learn to love one another and trust God with the past--and the future.

Maggie Brendan has done it again—stolen my heart with a love story that left me breathless. As gentle as a prairie breeze and as delicate as the Blue Willow china for which the series is named, Deeply Devoted is a tender and haunting tale that stirs heart and soul—deeply—well beyond the last page. ~ Julie Lessman, Best Selling Author of Daughters of Boston series
In this, the first of The Blue Willow Brides series you will journey along with this captivating read through historic Cheyenne, the "Magic City" of the 1800's with Catharine and her two dependent sisters, Greta and Anna who arrive in America basically with only her mother's Blue Willow tea set. Along with Peter Anderson, a wheat farmer who is anxious to make a new start in life with his mail-order bride, Catharine and her built-in family.
Catharine having very little domestic skills does her best, in spite of being fought on every level by Peter's mother, Clara, who had her heart set on her only child marrying the woman of her choice. Catharine's sisters add even more drama to the "normal life" that she longs for, including the trouble-maker MIL, Clara revealing a terrible secret that could cost her this marriage and upset her family forever.
The twists and turns which include love, betrayal, and forgiveness will leave you turning the pages in this Romance Novel!
