This is a very engaging novel sending one stubborn German woman from her homeland to Plum Creek, Oregon. Hired by the mistress of the house as a mother's helper, Erika Scharf arrives to find a home shrouded in gloom and sorrow. Mrs. Callender has recently died, leaving her husband bereft and lost. He does not want to love the baby, or anyone else, because of the emotional pain he is experiencing.
Dr. Jonathan Callender does not want to hire Erika, but she has no where to go if he refuses. Erika immediately sets about to convince the doctor that he (and his daughter) need her.
This is a moving story about Erika's patience and the love she showers on the Callender's family. Erika and Jonathan are such opposites but the author weaves their learning and emotional growth into a lovely story.
