Rachel Fisher struggles to live peaceably with her late husband’s aenti, who took Rachel and her son in when they needed shelter. But Barbara continually interferes with how Rachel is raising young Evan, and sparks fly. Rachel tries to get along—she really does—but Barbara pushes her to the limit. When newcomer David Wengerd moves into the district, Rachel is intrigued. But there are secrets there, something David is hiding. Wayne Weaver, a young farmer, has loved Rachel for a long time. He’s been biding his time as she heals from her grief. But with David’s appearance, he fears he’s waited too long. Has Rachel’s tender heart gone elsewhere?
And I wish she had told Barbara that SHE was Evan's mother not her. People like Barbara assume that as long as people will keep swallowing it, they'll continue to dish it out. I had a roommate once that always kept correcting my driving. I finally told her as we were going somewhere that I had started driving my Daddy's tractor when I was 9 years old. And had a license since I was 16. And until she got a driver's license, I would appreciate her letting ME do the driving. That took care of her comments. By the way, we got along great other than this.
I feel though that the closure of the story was a bit rushed. "Oh gee. I want him not him." Bing. Bam. The End. Thus the four stars.
Fine story about a widow, living with her husband's aunt. The relationship is strained and difficult at times. A single man moves into the community and causes a stir in the female population.
Love this story of the love Wayne had for Rachel and son .Wayne wanted to protect her from harm .Very good timing for Barbara To go away and Rachel could see the love Wayne had for her . Like to have better ending
