It was the aftermath of WWI and the Spanish influenza pandemic, and everyone seemed to be suffering from a loss from one or both. Daisy Malone, after losing her pa who worked at the Willard Estate in Chicago, was invited by her recently widowed Aunt Sally in Kansas to live with her on the farm.
Daisy was a pretty nineteen-year-old who suffered
from ‘word blindness’ (dyslexia) that hindered her ability at finding a
job with some labeling her as ‘slow’. However, her talents surrounded
the ability to fix and repair items taught to her by her pa and the gift
of being able to play music by ear.
Upon arriving in Glenbrook, she found her aunt in a disabled state following a fall and nursed her back to health. In the meantime, she soon became involved in the small town while attempting to hide her limitations, wanting to start over again. In doing so, she came upon many other families who also suffered recent misfortune and heartbreak with the need to heal.
In the meantime, their local church reopened again with a new pastor, who was a chaplain during the war. As handsome and charming as he was, all the young ladies flocked around him. However, Daisy knew she didn’t have the qualifications to be a good pastor’s wife. Despite initially attracting prospective beaus, would they maintain an interest once her limitations became known? Would she ever truly be accepted and fit in? Follow Daisy in her adventures to remain safe while attempting to overcome adversity in her search for acceptance and love. (This is a sweet and clean CF novel for all ages to enjoy.)
