Callie's teaching job is idyllic, relieving financial straits & burying a violent past. Yet secrets and a sociopath threaten students' safety. Emotional scars may get in the way of finding love and avoiding a killer.

A cozy read of a novel that blends mystery, female detective work and modern situations; this story will take from that cozy feeling of reading around a fireplace to the cold stark facts of poverty and issues only young females have to face ... and then back to the fuzzy familiar world of a good romance trying to click into place.

Yet dormant mysteries threaten the students'' safety and the future of the school. Callie''s complex journey to the truth puts her in the cross-hairs of a sociopath, but even that proves less arduous than healing old emotional scars and opening herself to love.
