That one week holds the secret that cannot be revealed! Can the school teacher from New England make a fresh start in Summit City, located in the Sandhills of Nebraska, as she deals with the conflict of the two cultures? She is virtually penniless in the dead of winter, January 1951. More depressing than to be cold and hungry, is to be without a friend or family. A cowboy contract sealed by a handshake is the beginning of her teaching in a rural school. Three days in the community, and she already has the reputation of being a fiesty lady. Maude Dunham, an outspoken cafe owner in Summit City is Lauras first friend in the community and her staunchest supporter and critic. Lauras poise and beauty is not unnoticed by the men of the community. Summit City is a caring community, with few secrets, as everyone is aware of one anothers frailties. However, Laura has a secret, and it is hers to keep. But, Laura also has a plan; Laura always has a plan! She views lift as likened to a game of chess; moving and manipulating. Though destitute, Laura desires to be touched by God. She in turn touches many lives, as she seeks to return to New England. As an unwed mother, she is ostracized by the community; yet unwilling to reveal the name of the father of her child. This is her secret to keep!. 20170417. Christian Fiction Western.
