  • "In 1915, it's been three years since Lucy Richards left her teaching position in rough West Texas and returned home to Bonham. Things haven't changed much during that time. Lucy is busy being indispensable to her family -- helping her eccentric mother run the hardware store, keeping dear Aunt Catherine comfortable and happy, and taking on many of the chores her very pregnant sister no longer feels up to. And although she misses her independence and the hard-won rewards of teaching, Lucy's life seems fulfilling...until her heartbreaking past threatens to catch up with her and she realizes she's just been "withering on the vine". Lucy decides to choose a husband from among her local beaus, but none of them stands a chance when handsome, irreverent Josh Arnold comes to town. He's been patiently wooing Lucy from afar for three years, and now means to stake his claim. It isn't long before Josh succeeds in charming the entire Richards clan and sweeping Lucy off her reluctant feet. The newlyweds move to the sleepy hamlet of Sweet Shrub, Arkansas, where life promises to be idyllic. But Lucy and Josh soon become caught up in the lives of their neighbors and discover that the surface tranquillity of their adopted town hides simmering tensions and unrest that will inevitably result in tragedy."@en
