English
By (author): Patricia DeGroot
Meredith Red Wilde is convinced that Michael Wisdom is one of the rudest and most egotistical men she has ever encountered after trying unsuccessfully to convince him to send his daughter, Caroline, to her school. But when he assists her with an injured student, she doesnt expect to catch a glimpse of his kinder side, nor does she expect Michael and Caroline to quickly become a part of her whirlwind family. She doesnt anticipate the barrage of emotions that accompany his presence either and she certainly doesnt like them.
Michael Wisdom moved to Dayton, WA to escape the memories of his wife and sons deaths. What he doesnt expect to encounter is the fiery Red Wilde, the local schoolteacher who insists upon befriending and helping his young daughter. Soon Michael finds himself repairing the school and inviting her to his house, actions far removed from his previous marriage.
When the two of them join together in a battle against the school board and later to save Carolines life, Michael realizes that he has to move past his wifes death and the fear of losing his only daughter. Will he be able to move past those hurdles to appreciate the prize awaiting him if he admits his love for Red?
Filled with laugher and love, this heartwarming novel will remind you of the simple joys of family and friends, and also the prize of a newfound love.
