A Touch Of Autumn

by Frances Devine

It's as plain as the aroma of peach pie in the kitchen of the Quincy School. The only person who doesn't seem to notice is Charles. For years, Olivia has been his friend and confidante, hoping one day he would return her love. She never expected that tragedy would bring them together. After his marriage proposal is rejected by Helen, Charles is eager for a fresh start. As he and Olivia spend more time together, he starts feeling more than friendship for the lovely pastor's daughter. When a forest fire threatens everyone in the school, will Charles come to the rescue–and admit his love–before it's too late?

[Jeanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Frances Devine has written a series set in late 1800's Georgia, in a school for the deaf. This is the 3rd book in the series, and I was sorry to see it end. It is a well-researched historical tale as well as a tenderly-written novel about deaf children and their teachers. I would highly recommend this story - I see the romance as secondary to the calling of teachers, especially teachers of the joyful special needs children entrusted to their care - and I hope to see many more books by Mrs. Devine!

This was not anything too special in my opinion, but it was a quick and light read :) Not bad or anything, just not outstanding I guess lol I enjoyed the characters in this book though...especially the deaf children :)
