Karen Barnett's books with National Parks as the background are a very enjoyable read. I especially enjoyed Ever Faithful. It was nostalgic, romantic, and intriguing all at the same time.
Elsie Brooks is a park ranger's daughter who has worked summers in the parks most of her life. She is trying to earn enough money to go to college to be a teacher. This summer she ends up with a teaching job at the Civilian Conservation Corp Camp. There she meets Nate Webber who is a very responsible person with leadership qualities; however he seems to avoid her and any homework she hands out. Then she stumbles on the fact that Nate can't read and offers to tutor him in private. As they meet for his lessons, they develop more than a friendship for each other. Things become complicated, however, when suspicions fall on Nate for being the arsonist setting fires in the park.
This is one of my favorites so far by Karen and I highly recommend it with 5 stars. Thanks to Waterbrook and Multnomah for providing this ebook through Netgalley. The opinions expressed are my own.
