This is from the now defunct Love Inspired Historical line. (Love Inspired continues but they discontinued the Historical line.) I received it from a friend who sent it to me after she'd read it. I'll pass it on to a different friend to see if her mother wants to read it.

We don't see much of the Crofts (who own the general store) but in a sense they reminded me a bit of the Olesons in the TV series "Little House on the Prairie" with a wife who likes to gossip/spread "information" and a husband who is kinder and more helpful.
