Tender Mercies (Red River of The North, 5) Lauraine Snelling

Mary Martha MacCallister comes from Missouri to visit her brother, Zeb, and his wife, Katy, and remains until after Christmas. She volunteers to help the younger children at the schoolhouse and, with her gentle southern charm, quickly wins the affection of all. Too soon the day comes when she must return home to care for her ailing mother. Pastor John Solberg, rejecting the persistent efforts of matchmaking mothers, develops a friendship with Mary Martha and discovers she shares his love of books and children. When she leaves, they agree to write to each other. Why, then, is his heart so heavy?
