Chapter 1: Promises of Spring I sat on the long front porch of the cabin, reading and rereading my letter to Pa. It was a warm May morning, spring alread -- from the cold dark winter of death and mourning, gradually warming with the promise of spring, finally bursting into warm, burgeoning summer. The sparrows and robins, were singing, Bitting from branch to branch, gently shaking the leaves. Sunlight wove its way through the woods, threading strands of gold. from birch to hickory to maple, turning the leaves where the hot bathed them. Ile world looked glorious and alive. I took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet, fresh perfume of blossoming flowers and rich green leaves. Above me, the sky was deep cerulean blue and the candy cotton puffs of clouds stretched and curled delicious shapes, like babies stretching in sleep. Logan had been them from the clay I returned to Winnerow. He had been there through the terrible after Tom´s death, while Pa was in the hospital. He had been them after Pa had returned with Stacie and little Drake to his own home in Georgia.

Only on this first morning, when I opened the door, there was Logan standing by the steps, a wide, happy smile on his face, his dark sapphire eyes brightening in the morning sun. "Good morning, Miss Casteel." He performed a grand bow. "I have been sent here to escort you to your classroom. It´s a fringe benefit of the Winnerow School System." "Oh, Logan!" I cried. "You got up so early to walk up here. > "It wasn´t so early. I get up this early to open the drugstore. It´s three times the size it was when we were high school students," he said proudly, "and demands a lot more work. Miss Casteel," he added, holding out his hand. I walked down the steps to take it and we started down the mountain path, just the way we had when we were high school sweethearts.<...
