I was approached by Lacy Williams to read and review her newest offering. I checked the synopsis on Amazon.com to see if it would be something I wanted to read before I took her up on the offer. This is not a heavy book with substantial plot lines. It is a fast read with elements of a Dime Novel of days gone by.
Cecelia White comes to Granbury, Wyoming, to be the new school teacher, and even though the president of the school board, John Morgan, is nice looking but she's not looking for a husband.
John is the son of con-artists and, because of a bank robbery gone bad, is now the guardian of his younger sister, Ruth, one of the students in the Granbury school.
Cecelia has her work cut out for her with Ruth, who seems to cause trouble at every turn.
Most of the book is about John hiding his past, Cecelia trying to win over Ruth, and Cecelia and John trying hard and failing at not falling in love.
My major criticism of the book is that John is looking for redemption by just doing good works. It would have helped to have John's redemption come through Jesus Christ instead of just through his own doing. Overall, this is a three-star book. It's a quick, easy read that will entertain for a little while.
Lacy Williams provided the copy I read. All opinions expressed are my own.
