Brides of Idaho (2012)
“Her load wouldn’t let up until winter brought an ease to the number of people traveling. Or until she sold. But she couldn’t concentrate on her tasks. What did Rudy mean, they were too much alike? She wasn’t a wanderer, waiting for a chance to ride off into the sunset, footloose and fancy-free.
But deep down, she knew what he meant.
They both were wary about trusting others, each with their own good reason.
Drawn to the window, she watched him swing the ax, splitting logs one after the other, w...ood chips scattering around him, chopping more wood in twenty minutes than she would in two hours. It was somehow soothing and reassuring to watch. And enjoyable with the autumn sun shining like it had to get every last ray blasted out before winter. She leaned her hip against the cupboard and enjoyed the sight. Never before had she been so fascinated by work.
Cora clattered in the door, and Joanna jerked away from her guilty contemplation, her cheeks stinging. She had too much work to waste time staring mindlessly out the window.MoreLess
