Information

It's a long way from Baltimore to Oklahoma Territory. But Zora Stewart will go any distance to put the tragic events of her sixteenth summer behind her. So this city girl heads to the tiny frontier town of West Glory to help her young widowed aunt keep her homestead going. When another Baltimorean shows up in West Glory, Zora couldn't be more surprised. Theo de la Croix made the long trip out west hoping to court Zora, whom he has long admired from afar.

"I didn't think YA historicals could get better than "The Vespertine."" The Springsweet" proved me wrong. This is a gorgeous, unputdownable book that will stay with you long after it's through. Saundra Mitchell just gets better and better."--Sarah MacLean, NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author of" Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake" and "Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord"

"With Saundra Mitchell's trademark evocative and gorgeous language, "The Springsweet" takes us across the plains, where the people thirst for love just as the land thirsts for water. I neve
