A SENSIBLE MATCH is a wonderful love story. Abby and Edwin both face many challenges, and must rely on God’s guidance. Upon Edwin’s arrival in her town, she must endure social functions, unwanted attention, and advice from older parishoners who feel they can instruct her how to be a proper vicar’s wife.

He is very conflicted but works through this to become a strong and worthy match for Abby. You really want to see this couple get together. This is a great story.
