He thought he was heading to a teaching job, not that of a husband. Now what? Samuel Donner, an experienced schoolteacher with a steely gaze and a firm grip on his principles, arrives in the dusty town of Cottonwood Falls answering their call for help. He's determined to bring order to chaos and transform the unruly children into well-educated citizens. His first target: the blatant disregard for attendance. Abigail Lees, a single mother of three, struggles to keep her head above water. When Samuel visits, warning that her eldest son, Thomas, needs to attend school more often, she's surprised. Unbeknownst to her, Thomas has taken on the responsibility of providing for the family, sacrificing his education in the process. Torn between his duty to the town and his growing affection for Abigail, and the fact another woman insists he's her mail-order husband, Samuel finds himself in a difficult position. He wants to help Thomas and Abigail, but adhering to his promise to the school board, and fending off unwanted advances, proves increasingly challenging. Then Thomas is accused of a serious crime, and Samuel must reach a decision. Will he stand by the boy, even if it means jeopardizing his reputation and potentially betraying the trust of the community? And can his love for Abigail survive the storm of doubt and suspicion that threatens to engulf them all?
