RITA Award nominee Karen Witemeyer is acclaimed for her winning blend of history, humor, and romance. In this heart-stirring tale, repentant ex-convict Levi Grant comes to Spencer, Texas, in 1887—hoping to put his past behind him and start out fresh as the town’s new blacksmith. To promote civility, Eden Spencer runs her own lending library, where she discovers Levi’s love of literature. But just as romance begins to bloom, Eden learns of Levi’s prodigal past.
