Summary

Simon Carlson couldn’t learn to read and therefore failed at school. Thanks to his bitter father, most people see him as a simpleton or worse. When a new schoolteacher comes to Flagstaff, she treats him as a normal person, even after she finds out that he can’t read or write. She soon has problems of her own, however. Who could be trying to run her off, and can Simon protect his new friend while still protecting his heart?

Christian Historical Romance

This was a wonderfully interesting and entertaining story! I loved the narrator, the storyline, and the characters. I loved Simon's growth as a believer and as a man worthy of love, with purpose and something to offer the community. I do wish he could have had his education desires fulfilled though.

Fall in love with Simon!

There is something to be said about not judging a person before you get to know them. When Caroline moves to Flagstaff to become the new teacher, she knows the boundaries. Simon is a great man, but they can only be friends. But even their friendship is questioned, putting her job on the line. Simon has difficulty with academics, but his mechanical skills are incredible. While not able to read, he takes in everything around him and knows much more than given credit for. Caroline sees Simon for who he is. When the town questions her intentions though, is she willing to give up her job for the budding love she feels? This is the kind of book that hits the heart! At times I was angry, others falling in love. It's a wonderful listen of being true to yourself and your heart.

Adam Skousen brings this gem to life with a fabulous performance. He can tell all sides of a story with voices perfectly suited for each person and each identifiable so it's easy to know who is speaking. I enjoyed his narration and the story.
