Strong as the Redwood (Heartsong Presents #247)

by Kristin Billerbeck

Forced by an overbearing stepfather to take a teaching position in the wilds of California's logging country, Rachel Phillips vows to make the best of her situation. But, when she innocently peaks the interest of the town's most eligible bachelor, handsome mill owner Chase Dylan, an angry widow exacts a scheme to ensure Rachel's future in Searsville will be short-lived. Gossip circling the town has turned the majority against the young teacher...even Chase, so it seems. Rachel can't understand how God could abandon her at her lowest point. Teaching about God's love to the town's children, when her own heart feels bankrupt, will test Rachel's faith to its very limit. Is there any hope left for Rachel?
