Logan and Karen decide to live a life of faith but, things are not
going as they planned. Karen Millerson hoped to be teaching at a high
school but, she is now teaching at a country school while boarding with a
family of farmers. She becomes engaged to Logan De Witt and shares a
life of faith with him. However, after a tragic accident occurs and the
school catches on fire, Karen is blamed. Her future at the school
remains uncertain.
Logan De Witt is working to remove
his family from financial debt. However, when he accidentally breaks his
leg, he is unable to work the farm which affects his ability to repaid
the debt. Logan is faced with difficult decisions that might affect his
desire to marry Karen. Will Logan and Karen find a way to care for his
family and protect his love for Karen?
This the second
novel in the series and while it can be read as a standalone, I felt
like I was missing as few references as I didn't read the first book.
For example, the struggles that Logan and Karen faced before agreeing to
get married were already sorted in the beginning but, the couple didn't
want their relationship to be noted as scandalous as they were courting
while she lived with him. There were a few places were the book was a
bit slow but, I enjoyed the plot twists. I enjoyed the part where the
kids were playing pranks with each other even though, I felt for Karen.
