Paradise Falls
by Ruth Ryan Langan

Times are hard in 1890's Boston, where Fiona Downey and her family have come from Ireland to follow their dreams. Difficult circumstances force Fiona to leave all that is familiar to accept a teaching position in the tiny German community of Paradise Falls, Michigan. While living in the Haydn home, she is openly courted by handsome, charming Fleming Haydn. But it is his shy, plain older brother, Grayson who secretly touches her heart.

While she struggles through loneliness, hardship and intolerance, and learns about the customs and rituals of strangers, she also teaches the children in her care, and their families, lessons about friendship, loyalty and love.
