Fruit for Tomorrow — Francena Arnold

To Virginia Martin it seemed dreams were designed to be shattered. And now the dream of her young life was about to prove just one more gigantic disappointment.

After all, becoming head of the English department at a large city high school was no small honor for a teacher with only three years experience.

The opportunities were boundless. But the blueprint of her life read differently. Her father lay near death in a Mexican hospital…her sister Kitty crippled in a freak accident…all of which cast Virginia once again in the familiar role of nursemaid, housekeeper and family cheerleader.

For Virginia there was little to cheer about. But that was before a young attorney named Steve Barrett happened into her life.
