Bright As Day

di Debra Samms (Autore)

Open Story Shelf, 2026

She came west hoping for a husband. Instead, she found a classroom, a guarded logger…and a little boy no one wanted the world to see. After more than two years in Sawyerville, Jane Beaulieu has nearly given up on the dream that brought her all the way from New Hampshire. While other mail-order brides found husbands and homes, Jane found a new purpose as a teacher at the Wildflower Meadow School. Then quiet, handsome logger Thomas Wheeler asks her to church. Thomas is everything Jane once hoped to find—kind, hardworking, gentle with children, and carrying a sadness he refuses to explain. But it is the mysterious boy living at the nearby Dailey Dairy who captures Jane's attention most. Ten-year-old Danny is bright, eager to learn…and forbidden to attend school. The more Jane teaches him, the more questions she asks. Why is Danny treated differently from the other children? Why is Thomas so fiercely protective of him? And why does the boy bear such a remarkable resemblance to the man who is slowly winning Jane's heart? When a violent storm changes everything, Jane becomes more determined than ever to give Danny the future he deserves. But helping him will require Thomas to reveal a secret his family has guarded for ten years—and Jane must decide whether the mistakes of the past should determine who deserves love today. A tender frontier romance about forgiveness, family, second chances, and discovering that sometimes the brightest future begins with someone willing to believe in you. Return to Sawyerville, Oregon, for another heartwarming story of the brides and rugged men who are building a community—and finding love—on the American frontier.
