This is one of Dorothy Garlocks best- a young girl steps out to be a schoolteacher in the West, this is a story of love, heartache, and dreams that come true.

A girl hired for a teaching position heads out West with a blind fellow orphan. They travel by wagon train and discover love on the way.
Garlock always touches the heart.
***Set in the old west, a 19-year-old redhead without money, prospects, or parents set out to find a better life for herself and her blind fellow orphan by landing a job as a school teacher out West and found herself in a wagon train led by wagon master, Lucas Steele.
She was a nineteen-year-old redhead without money, prospects, or parents, yet Tucker Houston had spunk to spare. Determined to find a better life for herself and her blind fellow orphan, she brazenly told a few fibs to land a job as a schoolteacher out West ... and soon found herself in a wagon train filled with mail-order brides. Leading them all was wagon master Lucas Steele, black-haired, hard-muscled, and drawn to Tucker's fire. Tucker and Lucas would soon find out that love couldn't wait -- not with the dangers of the trail making today all they had, and tomorrow a time that might never come for the dreams they shared.
