Both characters in this story are having to heal from broken hearts, sorrow, and tragedy. As they try to find healing, peace, and new happiness they come together in a wonderful story of love and compassion. I love that Becca is able to help Sam overcome his own guilt and sorrow to speak again.
This author just sealed the deal with me by using one of my favorite words- “twitter-pated” lol. I love it!

This is Becca Graber and Jesse King’s story.
Starting a new job was never easy. But for Rebecca Graber, it seemed her first week as the interim teacher of the Amish school in Riverton, Colorado, might also be her last.
Standing beside her desk in the one-room schoolhouse, she picked up her McGuffey reader. Thirty old-fashioned wooden desks sat lined up in orderly fashion with a black potbellied stove at the front of the room. A wide chalkboard covered the front wall, topped with English and German penmanship charts and several pull-down maps and illustrations for lessons. Poetry, artwork and Amish proverbs dotted the other walls. Becca had plenty of paper, crayons and flash cards for the children to use. And sitting on her desk was a large handbell she rang when she called the children in from recess.
“First and second grades, please take out your reading books. All other grades will study quietly in their workbooks,” she said.
Jesse King, Sam’s father, stood in front of the open door, holding his black felt hat in his hands. His gaze swept the room, his shrewd eyes showing that he understood exactly what had transpired. A corner of his mouth twitched and Becca thought he might laugh. But no. He looked too stern to find any humor in the moment. A chilly gust of wind accompanied his entrance and he pushed the portal closed with the point of his black work boot. Becca stared, thinking she imagined the man. When had he come inside? Probably during the chaos.
Oh, no! Why did he have to show up now? What must he think of her?
A moment of confusion fogged Becca’s mind. She couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. She watched as if in slow motion as Mr. King leaned down and picked up the rubber snake.
I highly recommend reading.
