A Reluctant Bride by Jody Hedlund

- 
The Reluctant Bride is an outstanding book by  Jody Hedlund.  It  takes place  during  the   time period when there were many  orphans in London.  It is  the first book in the  Bride  Ships series.  Mercy  Wilkins is  from a poor family.  She   shows  Christian  kindness  and mercy to  those  around her whenever she  can.   Mercy  was offered the opportunity to go to British Columbia on a  sailing   trip with a sponsored group.  She  believes she will be able to  be hired to work for  families and have a better life.  She  also hoped to   pave the way for her sister to come  on the ship in the future.  She   came with a group and there are many sick.   She ended up  showing compassion for   the sick people on the  ship. She  met  Joseph Coville  who  was a doctor on the ship and became his assistant.  He  admired her   compassion for the patients.  She  is  supposed to be  sold once she  gets off the ship. What will become of  Mercy once she gets off the  ship?  This  book was given to me by the publisher and netgalley to read and review . I am not obligated to give a positive review of the book. Thank you for allowing me to read and review this   outstanding book.
