After a four-year absence, Emily Winters returns to her hometown of Lancaster Pennsylvania in 1865 after her father's death, and she's very surprised to find her childhood friend Ross Gallagher alive and well (he'd been reported as dead during the war). Even more surprising is that no one, not even her sister, bothered to write and tell her Ross was alive. Emily soon involves herself in trying to revive her father's failed printing/newspaper operation, setting her at odds with Ross, who works for  the #1 newspaper in town, and he's also engaged to the boss's snotty daughter.That's the basics, and I don't want to reveal more. It's apparent from the first that Ross and Emily have a Big Secret, but the author takes her time to unravel it all with flashbacks to their childhood and what led up to Emily cutting off contact with Ross and moving away. There's also a mystery or two to solve as Emily digs into the reasons why her father's business failed. This was  a quick easy read, Emily and Ross were a good solid pair to root for. This was originally published in 1996 under the title Forever and Always, and a huge thumbs up for getting it out on Kindle with no formatting errors or typos (well, there was one typo I spotted, but so minor it's not worth a mention). 3.5/5 stars and I will be reading more from this author.
