Mary's choice

the long version

Though she's tried to believe she's satisfied just as a first-grade teacher, Mary Oliver longs to be a wife and a mother. Walter Chance, a high-school friend, seems more than interested in Mary. And Todd Walker, her childhood crush, has resurfaced and lavishes Mary with attention. To top it all off, the less formal Community Church has just hired Jason Abbott to be their new assistant pastor, and while less polished than the others, he enjoys Mary's heart for children and her dedication to the Lord. When a parcel of land begins to be overrun with mystery, Mary must choose the look beyond the appearances of men and seek the Lord.
