Monday, December 4 through Friday, December 22, 2023. Read by Jim Fleming.
In a small town, a high school teacher must raise his two boys alone after their mother retreats altogether. A teenage girl is pregnant, alone herself, with nowhere to go. And two elderly brothers work the family homestead, the only world they’ve ever known. A story of family and romance, tribulation and tenacity, set on the High Plains east of Denver.
