Belonging
(Large Type)

In the high desert town of Frenchman's Bluff, Idaho, Felicia Kristoffersen has set out to create a future for herself that is better than her painful past. Alone in the world with only her faith to sustain her, she must prove herself as this tiny community's new schoolteacher -- especially to those who never wanted her there to begin with. Five years after the death of his wife, local merchant Colin Murphy cares about just one thing: raising his daughter, Charity, and providing her with the educational advantages he never had. The new schoolmarm's inexprience doesn't sit well with him -- and if she up and marries like the last one did, Charity's heart will be broken once again. In the midst of the wide, sage-covered plains, a woman who hasn't known love and a man who lost the love he had may discover that some of life's most bitter circumstances can sometime work together for good. -- back cover.
