The "Dakota Born" book (and whole series) are one of my favorites of Debbie Macomber's. (And that says a lot, because I'm a big fan of most of her writing.)
In "Dakota Born," a single schoolteacher ("city girl" and from the deep South, no less) moves into a failing western town and one-room school, and was not especially welcomed by the discouraged town folk or the single rancher whom she was drawn to.
But because of her dedication to her tiny school, and her way of inspiring both her high school students and the local townspeople with her vivaciousness and her creative ideas, the town begins to perk up again, the community takes pride in their town once more, and the economy picks up.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of town secrets, faltering relationships and teenage angst to keep us involved in the story. I became so invested in Macomber's characters that it was a "hard-to-put-down-er!" and I was thrilled that it was part of a 4-part series, so the storyline continues!
FIVE STARS from me!
