Lily of the Valley: Hymns of the West, Book 4 (Unabridged‪)‬

Unruly schoolchildren, three suitors, and too many things to do.

It is Ruth Brookings’ first year teaching school. She wants to instill a love of learning into them, but between the unruly children and persistence of an unwanted suitor, she is overwhelmed.

To make matters worse, when Ruth prays for guidance, she’s answered with a challenge instead: to encourage her friend, Sheriff Micah Carson, to find a wife - whether he wants one or not. When she does, he starts to avoid her, and the shy teacher wonders if she just lost one of her only friends.

Will Micah start talking to her again? Can God teach her to trudge through the valley and still trust him when things get tough?

Although this is the fourth book in the series, it can be listened to as a stand-alone. Most of the characters were introduced in the first three books of the series, so some character development will be missing in this book, but not so much you can't enjoy the book itself.

All the Way, a spin-off book about Ruth, is also available.
