Washington state, June 1898.
He's looking to pursue his career – which can’t happen on his family’s farm.
She's stuck around the world from home – with nowhere to go and no way to go back.
They can find each other, but can they find what they need?
Hugh Weaver, the last of Calvin and Bella’s three sons, is an accomplished cook. But the enormous Weaver clan isn’t lacking for kitchen skills, and as much as he loves them, he knows his destiny lies elsewhere – running his own restaurant or café. But where?
Hamasaki Ichiko doesn’t even speak English, but her family sent her and her sister from Japan to America to find work. She’s escaped the clutches of a human trafficker, only now she’s stranded in the tiny village of Nowhere, living off the charity of its citizens. She’s ready to get a job and make a life. But how?
Toss in two other Japanese girls who just want to go home, a railroad detective disguised as a doting grandma, a diner owner making plans for the future, an ambitious milkmaid who has Hugh in her sights, and a town and family that put the “wild” in the Wild West, and you have the makings of an international incident … or maybe an international affair? Get the answers to all these questions and more in HUGH, the farthest-reaching Weaver adventure yet!

Melting pot
The Weavers have surely evolved. Once they only came to Nowhere twice a year for dances and maybe a little courting. Now they are some of the most respected business men in the state and have their own train station. The eyetalians have all grown up and many have moved away and now a new generation is marrying. Some have even married Indians and there are blacks and Swedes on the farm, so why not Japanese?
This author takes on a whole new immigrant and a lesser talked about one at that. Hugh is one of the last young Weaver men and it is interesting to observe his story.

Good read
How books are okay. Wish be would get the family relationships right. Personally, I prefer Miss Morgan's books, but alas, I'm sure she needs help. With all her different collections of books. Once again I am reminding people Kit Morgan's characters can end up elsewhere. Like Henry White's boy is in Angels and Cowboy series.. Justin can be found in the Dalton Brothers. Liam White's brother Caleb, Anson and Jess Jones can be found in Jones' of Morgan's Crossing and Daniel Weaver's story is in Mail order Ink (Miss Pettigrew). I'm sure the are other series I forgot to mention.

Hugh is lovely.
Each Weaver book is better than the last. And one of the best things is... there are still more Weavers. I love the Weavers. They embody the ideal of America. Everybody is welcome. Everybody is loved. Sometimes it might take a minute, but the the Lord moves, and all is well. Hugh is a wonderful man. Ichiko is adorable. I would totally recommend this book. But watch out. The Weavers are addicting.

Ichiko and Hugh
Wonderfully written. Glad to see that the author was not afraid to tackle a tough relevant subject like suicide. The slow pace of the love story was a nice touch too.

Hugh
Hugh loves to cook and hopes to become a chef one day. But that would involve leaving the farm, and he wasn't looking forward to it. This book has two love stories and I enjoyed them both. Good clean romance.

Funny Old Thing
This is a great story within a story book. Not a cliff hanger but enough information left open about side characters that you cant’t wait for the next book in the series. Just like I couldn’t wait for Hugh’s story and it did not disappoint.

Sweet
This was another sweet story with some interesting circumstances to bring together another unexpected couple. It is nice to see and know that this is how things came to be years ago.

Hugh ❤️ Ichico
I’m happy for Hugh but this book was hard to read because of the word endings making it sound like spoken broken Japanese.
