How she managed to hook wealthy local businessman, Hayden Hodges, is a mystery to the town, but one thing is certain -- she's here to stir up things.
Why, she wears Paris fashions, speaks French, wants to build a public library, and supports equal rights for women -- including rights to education With this newcomer's help and support, nothing but hard work stands between Sarah and a teaching certificate.
