The Christmas Journey

Description for THE CHRISTMAS JOURNEY by Winnie Griggs:

Second chances are rare in Annie MacAllister's life, and the sudden opportunity to pose as a respectable schoolteacher is too good to pass up. Annie plans to stay in the friendly Texas town of Trail's End just long enough to earn money for a new start. But she never dreams that in helping herself, she would help her students--and the one man who could uncover her truth...

As Trail's End's most righteous citizen, John Sullivan thinks that believing in God is only about right and wrong. But he's challenged by the new schoolteacher's unconventional methods--and her unexpected past. Now, he and Annie will need some divine forgiveness to reignite their faith...and find a future together.
