Cora's Deception (9781476398280)
by Colvin, Mildred
In 1833, Cora Jackson moves, against her will, from St. Louis to the wilds of Southern Missouri. She awaits rescue by her city beau, only he doesn't come. Then she meets Aaron Stark and the lies she believed begin to crumble. Aaron Stark falls in love with Cora as soon as he sees her, but she'll never love him because he can't read nor write. He's only a dirt-poor farmer.
