  Third-grade rebel Chris Brasher was her most ardent admirer. The boy had been all but abandoned during his parents' divorce, so when Kathryn met his towering lumberjack father, John, she decided to give him an earful.
  
  Handsome John, in return, gave her more than she bargained for--a marriage proposal. Why, when she finally found adult love, did she childishly feel like running?
