The boy must become the man he was meant to become to protect the woman he loves. John's father has started drinking, again. The violence was expected-he was used to it from when he was a child. But when he hears his stepsister crying outside his window one night and learns his father's wrath is being taken out on her. Everything changes. John is a towering, soft spoken 20 year old boy who lives with his father and 18 year old stepsister, Marie, in a closed society off the country side of Montana. Raised on a farm far away from technology and electricity, John was taught the code of being man of a relationship by his elders. He knew to respect a woman, to be kind to a woman, and above all, protect her. But now the time has come for John and his stepsister to leave one another to find proper suitors and life grow difficult for the two as they are forced apart. How will they navigate these feelings that plague them both when their community is pressuring them so? And more importantly, how will they survive their father's violence? This bundle collects four books into one novel. Get this book and read the complete Stepsister's Place story.
