Debbie Macomber is a tried and true author, I usually enjoy her books and have no problems finishing them. That is true in this case as well.
This is the first in a trilogy about a small town in North Dakota called Buffalo Valley. It is a typical small farming community that is dying with people leaving town to find work elsewhere. Then the high school teacher dies leaving an opening and a fear of the town becoming a ghost town. Enter Lindsey whose grandparents lived in this town. She needs a change of scenary and decides to take the position for a year. While there she manages to help get the town excited and coming together for various events. Along the way she also falls in love, but will they be able to come together in the end?

Grumpy farmer and a barely-qualified teacher with strong Mary Sue vibes are crazy for each other despite apparently having practically nothing in common. Set in a small town where being an outsider seems to be seen as a horrible crime - which might explain why the town was dying before Mary Sue moved in and miraculously set it back on its feet again...

Super cute story I listened to driving to/from work. I really liked how there are three books to the series and it just kept going. This is not earth shattering fiction, just simple and fun. I found myself looking forward to my drives so I could hear more.

There was a slow start to this one but I really enjoyed it by the end.
I'm looking forward to the next one in the series.

I have read some reviews that say that this in not a true information of North Dakota and that because Debbie Macomber's roots are in ND she should know better. To you I say who cares the book was enjoyable. It made me laugh and in spots made me cry. Debbie Macomber rights fiction not non fiction so her facts do not have to be correct.
Keep up the good novels Debbie. Iam on to the next book in the series.
