Customer Reviews

Fascinated by 1920's mid-west life

Based on facts gleaned from her mother's experiences as a teacher in the 1920's, Gutteridge has written a story describing the period in all of its glory; bitter mid-west winters, small town charm, pre-electric farm life, and party line telephones. It is a fascinating read!

Still Water Runs Deep

This charming book tells the story of a young woman and her first year of teaching school in the Midwest in the 1800's. As she goes off to board with a young family near her school, she learns about relationships in a small town. When a surly, abusive neighbor turns up dead, the townspeople look for clues. The story evolves with wit, rich characters, and a hearty dose of intrigue!
