This is the final book of the Jazz Age Series. This story takes place in Fertile, Missouri, where April Ashbury has come to work as a nurse to the town's doctor. The local farmer, Joe Jones, rescues April when her car gets stuck in the mud (while traveling to Fertile).

He's instantly interested in the town's newest citizen but has lots of competition from the local males. Joe is so friendly that he comes across as a flirt and that is something April is not looking for in a mate.

The citizens of the small town run the gamut from helpful and friendly to sneaky and sinister. The author brings them to life, as only Dorothy Garlock can.

I found there to be s few difficult-to-believe spots in the story; otherwise, I enjoyed this fourth book a great deal.
