Courting Sadie

Sadie King finds herself heartbroken when an agent suggests revisions are needed for her debut manuscript before it can finally reach a publisher. Writing has been her passion since childhood, but her creativity has been overshadowed by the whirlwind of planning her upcoming wedding with fiancé Matthew Hershberger. Matthew's stepmother, Ruth, who once taught Sadie, proposes that Daphne Miller step in to handle the bookkeeping for Sadie. This suggestion stings; Sadie feels belittled by Ruth's assumption that she can't manage her writing and business simultaneously, as her focus is far from creative endeavors right now. When Matthew requests the ledger to pass to Daphne, Sadie is taken aback—can't he see how much she cherishes the work she does for his horse business? As their wedding day approaches, the community faces turmoil: a cherished child disappears, a fire erupts, and an old boyfriend, Silas, unexpectedly returns to Fields Corner, eager to rekindle their romance and propose to Sadie. On top of all this, Sadie worries about the potential return of her Graves' disease. With so much at stake, will Sadie and Matthew's wedding unfold as planned?
