Stay a Little Longer — Dorothy Garlock

America's heartland at the end of World War I: The flags have stopped waving, the soldiers are home, and the women who kept the home fires burning face unexpected new horizons. Now beloved New York Times bestselling author Dorothy Garlock writes a moving, unforgettable tale of a young woman changed by loss, challenged by danger, and fighting to claim her future.

For Rachel Watkins, the armistice has brought anything but peace. Day by day, she struggles to run her family's Minnesota boardinghouse, raise her defiant young niece, and keep her grief-shattered family together in the face of heartbreaking tragedy. She has no reason to trust anyone, for the most powerful man in town is using any unscrupulous means necessary to take her property. But now a shell-shocked stranger takes refuge with the Watkins family as he tries to heal and salvage what he can from his once privileged life. And as remorseless enemies seize a devastating chance, Rachel and this mysterious loner will risk everything to believe in each other ... and claim the dreams they'll never surrender.
