To Pay a Debt

<p>The Teacher's Crooked Trail</p><p>May 1879</p><p>Flory tell me you did <em>not</em> respond to that post!</p><p>Anna Whitman is a twenty-four-year-old teacher in Altoona Pennsylvania. She</p><p>has raised and supported her younger sister Flory since the death of their parents</p><p>ten years ago. While the sisters' lives have never been easy things are better now</p><p>with Anna's teaching job and Flory's contribution of a few dollars more.</p><p>Both of their lives are affected though when Anna is accused of breaking the</p><p>morality clause in her teacher contract.</p><p>While Anna struggles with life-changing decisions Flory continues to flit</p><p>through each day with little concern for anyone but herself. She is an incorrigible</p><p>flirt and has many suiters. Now one of her impetuous decisions will affect the</p><p>sisters' lives far beyond anything either of them considered.</p><p>With her job and her reputation in jeopardy Anna is forced to make terrifying</p><p>decisions. Will staying be an option? And if they leave where will they go? Their</p><p>only relative lives on a ranch more than a thousand miles away. Not only have</p><p>the sisters never been out of the state of Pennsylvania but they barely know</p><p>their aunt. Will she even want them to live with her?</p><p>Follow this young teacher's crooked trail as she tries to do what is right and</p><p>restore honor to her family name.</p>
