A Widow's Hope
“had never met a widowed father. Even before the rooster crowed, Seth had brewed his coffee, washed the dishes, and swept the kitchen floor.

A stack of toast, slathered with fresh peach preserves, waited on the table.Phoebe glanced curiously arou...nd the tidy room and then up at him.“Go get washed and dressed before breakfast,” Seth said. “And put on one of the pretty kapps Hannah made for you.
