Oregon Bride is book 3 of the Bride Series by Rosanne Bittner. It gives a great description of what it was like on a wagon train and what it was like in Oregon. The characters are well developed and the plot is exciting. It is an excellent book and definitely a great sequel.Marybeth MacKinder is a young widow with a small baby boy who is tied to an Irish Catholic family because her husband, Dan was their son. Dan died in an accident in the factory where he was working. Dan, his father Mac, and brother, John, are big, loud, domineering men who love their whiskey. They are the head of their families and expect to be obeyed immediately and without any questions. Marybeth tried to be the woman Dan wanted her to be but couldn’t. Since his death, she has made no pretense to “obey without question” her father-in-law or her brother-in-law. Having no place to go and no way to earn money at this point, Marybeth joins the family on a wagon train going to Oregon. She plans to figure out a way to leave then when they get to Oregon and make a new life for herself and her son. Will she be able to get out from under their influence? Can she keep from being forced to marry John? Can she help her mother-in-law, Ella?Joshua Rivers is on his way from Texas to Oregon after making sure his sister and brother are in good hands with Brand Selby, a half-breed. Joshua has had to become more liberal with his thinking about prejudice. He now accepts people for who they are not where they come from. From the time he ran into Marybeth in the capitol building in St. Louis, he has been attracted to her. At first, he believed she was married and is greatly relieved when she isn’t. After he joins the wagon train, he helps her out whenever he can. What will happen on the wagon train? What about when they reach civilization again?
