Book Description:
Buffalo Valley, North Dakota. Like so many small Midwest towns, it's dying. Stores are boarded up, sidewalks cracked, houses need a coat of paint. But despite all that, there's a spirit of hope here, of defiance. The people still living in Buffalo Valley are fighting for their town.

Lyndsay Snyder is a newcomer. She's an outsider, even though she spent childhood vacations here. Now she returns to see the family house again, to explore family secrets and to reevaluate her life.



To her own astonishment, she decides to stay, to accept the vacant position of teacher. Her decision marks a new beginning for Buffalo Valley and for Lyndsay, who discovers in this broken little town the love and purpose she's been seeking.

Just got done reading the first in the series of 4. Very well wrote. I love Debbie Macombers books. Very clean read. Can't wait to start on the nest one Dakota Home, then Always Dakota and the last one Buffalo Valley. I have all of them to read but Buffalo Valley which is on my wish list.

These are a most read for anyone that likes Debbie Macomber

A sweet story that reminds one how frustratingly stubborn people in love can be.

Trapped in a romance that is going nowhere,Lyndsay and her friend take a 2 week vacation. They visit Buffalo Valley, North Dakota, where Lyndsay's grandparents lived. She takes a teaching position for a year. Both she and the town are changed in that year. Can't wait to start the next book of the series!
