Description
In this inspirational historical romance, Edith is a nurse and has gone home to assist her cousin who is “with child.” Edith has wonderful qualities but never gives a man a second chance because her expectations are so high. However, all that changes when a mysterious stranger starts writing to her. For the first time, she gets to know a man’s inner soul before making any harsh judgments.
Whoever he is, this man is a mystery and the best thing that has ever happened to her. The question that puzzles her is whether or not he’s as wonderful in person as he is in his letters.

Western historical romances are a passion of mine, and Linda Weaver Clarke delivers Edith and the Mysterious Stranger straight to my heart. This is the second installment of the series, but can be listened to as a standalone. We meet Edith, who is a strong willed, independent woman with experience as a nurse. She comes home to help her cousin, Meredith who is having a difficult pregnancy. Now Meredith, her husband and Edith’s mother have a contest to find Edith a husband. WIth the matchmakers working overtime, there is an abundance of suitors, but who will win Edith’s heart? Good advice to get to know the heart of a man, Edith finds herself drawn to the one sending her love letters. But who is this man? I love this premise, the interaction of Edith reading the letters, and sharing them with Meredith. Trying to figure out who is sending them, and just the way these two get to know each other is warm and sweet. This is a story that will fill your heart with love and leave you happy.
The narrations by Carolyn Kashner is done wonderfully She is well paced and I enjoyed her voices for the characters. I can’t wait to hear more of this series!
