1917…
Linnea Bradenborg expects to find culture and excitement in Alamo, North Dakota, where she’s recently been hired as the new schoolteacher.
Instead, she finds a sparse little town in the middle of nowhere. Better yet, her train is met by a cantankerous wheat farmer named Theodore Westgaard who doesn’t bother to hide his displeasure when he discovers that L. I. Brandenborg is a woman and not the man he was expecting.

Westgaard thinks twice about bringing Linnea home to live with him, but he soon realizes that he has no choice. All of the town’s past schoolteachers have lived with the Westgaard family-made up of Theodore, his mother, and his teenaged son-due to their farm being located very near the schoolhouse, and so Theodore allows Linnea into his home. But who could have guessed that this young, independent woman would soon find her way into the handsome farmer’s heart?

A compelling classic to be listened to again and again, Years is a fitting tribute to the pioneer schoolteachers who braved many hardships to share the gift of knowledge with countless children.

Lonely men are a Spencer specialty and she has done a splendid job here in making this more than a story of two people enamored of each other. She describes the growth of Teddy and Linnea’s love with sensitivity and refreshing candor and brings all the residents of Alamo to life in a way that makes the reader care about their satisfactions and heartaches.

Could give you sexy vintage cover or farmstead and blue sky.
