In early 1900s Kansas, Mercy McClain, determined to protect Teaville's children from the bullying she experienced as a child, finds fulfillment working at the local orphanage and serving on the school board. When Aaron Firebrook, the classmate who bothered her more than any other, petitions the board for a teaching position, she's dead set against him getting the job.
Aaron knows he deserves every bit of Mercy's mistrust, but he's returned to his hometown a changed man and is seeking to earn forgiveness of those he wronged. He doesn't expect Mercy to like him, but surely he can prove he now has the best interests of the children at heart.
Will resentment and old wounds hold them back, or can Mercy and Aaron put the past behind them in time to face the unexpected threats to everything they're working for?
First off why did it take me sooo long to read this one???
and second, I read this book in one day…one day!!! That’s a rare occurrence for me!!
What does that meAn??? I couldn’t put it down. Like at all!
Every time I visit teaville I have to do a quick look back to familiarize myself with past characters…..not cause I’m lost but because I want to remember who was who,and tbh I still have yet to read book one!!!
I loved Mercy!!! And Aaron! I loved the reformed bully teaching and helping current bullies! Such a great story about mercy, grace,redeeming love and learning from ones mistakes
About Melissa Jagears
I stay home with my kids, and though that’s PLENTY enough to do, I decided to add homeschooling and writing novels into my schedule too! I am an English/English as a Second Language teacher by trade and still occasionally convince myself to stuff an English class into my schedule since I LOVE adult second language learners (When students are eager to learn, that’s a teacher’s dream job).
My husband and I have been married since 2001 and have a daughter and two boys. My husband loves blacksmithing, knife smithing, traditional archery, hunting, etc. Generally whatever a mountain man does, he does it or has or wants to attempt it. He comes in handy for research!
