Prairie Teacher — Marion Marsh Brown

A little red schoolhouse, or a television studio?
A tiny prairie town, or the glamor of New York?
A sun-bronzed cowboy, or a sophisticated actor?
An impossible choice to make -- and she had to make it alone.

Polio had interrupted a promising theatrical career for lovely Trudy Martin. For the year it took her damaged ankle to mend, she taught school in a windswept Nebraska town. She had come to love her pupils and the simple country life…now it was time to go.

It wasn't easy to leave them -- nor, she realized with a shock, to leave Chuck Wainwright, the rugged young rancher who had become more than just a friend.

But Bob, her childhood sweetheart, and the dreams of a lifetime waited in New York. Suddenly, Trudy faced her moment of decision.
