Margaret
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Margaret is one of the best Sunfires I've ever read. It wasn't like she was dieing to be in love, or that she was even looking for it. What I liked is that she wasn't a perfect girl, unlike in so many of the others, she even admitted to having a appetite! : ) She was a spirited girl, that you can't help but admire. How she tried not to like her student because she was his schoolteacher, I found it commendable that she was fallowing her head, not just her heart. And how she's happy when her landlady gets married to one of her beaus. She actually gave them her best wishes. I would suggest this to any reader, if they are just interested in romance, or the life of a one-room schoolhouse teacher.

This was probably one of the best Sunfire books that i have read. (I really dont know how I found out about them, but they are actually okay as far as cheap romance novels go.) Anyways this book is good if you're looking for a quick read. I LOVED the ending. It was a ton better than Jennie ( if you're gonna read a Sunfire book stay away from Jennie, ...!) Anyway, Margaret is a prettty good book, I think you'll love it.
A really good book

I really liked this book. I was surprised that the story seemed to move as well as it did, considering it's one of the shorter Sunfire books. (Did anyone else notice how the books got skinnier as the series went on?) The story was, for as much as a romance book can be, believable. Margaret is a great character and there was a nice twist with the usual two guys and a girl theme.
A 15-year-old teacher finds the life she wants.

I really like this book. It's about an 8th grade graduate went off to the wild Nebraska in the 1800's. Margaret was only 15 years old! i'm gonna be 15 soon too but i can't even think of going off in my own, left alone doing it! She had a hard time fitting in with the town, the house of the Principal which she was boarding and the one-room school. But she grows as the days pass and found love with her 18-year-old student.
Cool!

Margaret has come to the prairie to be a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse. But it's more then she bargained for. She must cope with disobediant students, a deadly epidemic, lonliness, a prairie fire, and choosing between two men who love her.
