Never a Sure Thing

In 1917 America was drawn into the war in Europe, and Adelaide Richards turned twenty years old. After a year of training, she earned certification as a secretary/bookkeeper and was returning to Clarke County, Virginia to tackle the affairs of a large farm. The owner, Alexander Lockwood, a prominent lawyer in the town of Berryville, had given her help when she and her friend, Lottie Bell, ran into a questionable situation in Colorado. Although Adelaide’s return to Clarke County was part obligation, she cared for Alex and believed he cared for her. But life holds surprises; the outcome of plans made are never a sure thing. For Adelaide, will the future hold promise or disappointment?
