Book Description:
Buffalo Valley is dying. But its citizens won't give up on the town where generations have lived, loved, raised families, worked hard, and died. When Savannah-born Lindsay Snyder decides to accept the teaching position in Buffalo Valley, she brings a breath of fresh air with her. Lindsay is trying to escape a stalled romance and learn more about her family, especially her grandmother Gina, who lived her entire life in the tiny town. Buffalo Valley has its share of characters, including Hassie Knight, the matriarch of this small community; Buffalo Bob Carr, the ex-biker who won the local watering hole in a poker game; and Gage Sinclair, the handsome farmer whose roots are deeply planted in the fertile soil of this North Dakota village. But Gage refuses to believe that Lindsay will find any reason to stay so far from the bright lights of the big city she recently called home. And Lindsay despairs that Gage will never comprehend that she has the best reason to remain--love, for him.

The first book in this series. I really enjoyed it. I'm a huge Debbie Macomber fan and working on reading all of her books. I'm now reading the second one in this series.

Good read. This series is not just about the primary characters in each book but incorporates all the residence of the town of Buffalo Valley. This is the first of the Dakota Trilogy. The remaining books are 'Dakota Home' & 'Always Dakota'. If you are a fan of Ms. Macomber's Cedar Cove series you will especially enjoy this trilogy.

If you like Debbie Macomber you will love this book about a woman
who is a newcomer to town who returns to the old family house. Now she must "reevaluate her life."

Buffalo Valley, North Dakota. Like so many small town, is dying. Stores are boarded up, sidewalks cracked, houses wanting a coat of paint. But despite it all, there's a spirit of hope here, of defiance. The few people still left in Buffalo Valley are fighting for their town.
