Marshall's Ridge, Oregon
One last fourth of July. She owned that to Josh, at least. There had been so much sadness when David had died and Hope couldn't bear the thought of looking in her son's eyes and seeing the disappointment reflected there when she told him about the farm.
Even with a short delay, it wouldn't be much longer before they would have to pack their belongings and leave the only home that Josh had ever known. Hope felt a mix of sadness, trepidation and disappointment. The dream of passing on the farm one day to her son now seemed an utter impossibility.

Virginia Moretti, who ran the milliner shop, had offered her a job when Hope confided her dire situation. That would provide the means so that she and Josh would have room and board at the town boarding house.
This was the best plan until Hope could figure out where the future lie. She was used to hard work and there
