All her life, Sarah McBride has gone along with whatever
her guardian dictates. Now on the verge of graduating from the
Shippensburg State Normal School, she questions her ability to
teach in a classroom when her heart isn't in the profession. What
she wouldn't give to pursue her heart's desire of becoming a writer
instead of following what's expected. But how can Sarah defy her
guardian's plans?
Everything has been a hardship for Ezekiel Stouffer ever since his
wife died giving birth to their second child. The last thing he
needs is the responsibility of monitoring the new schoolteacher
while still maintaining his farm. But when their paths entangle, he
can't help but notice the way his children respond to her tender
concern. After his loss, Zeke doubts he'll ever search for love
again, but maybe friendship is an option.
Can two searching hearts find the same path?
