My Review
4 STARS!!!
If you enjoy inspirational historical romance then you’re
sure to find a few pleasurable hours spent with these four school teachers while
they address and work through challenges faced in and out of the classroom. With
four unique writing styles, readers are sure to be entertained and encouraged by
one or more of these courageous young teachers.
I have to mention the gorgeous cover. Between the embossing and the cutout, it’s one of the prettiest covers on my book shelf this year!
I was gifted a copy of the book. No review was required.
