Description: Milford College is in trouble. The mission to create teachers and preachers for the recently freed populations is on a shaky course because of problems between the married founders. Mayor Virgil Smithson has been away to the constitutional convention in the newly established state capital in Atlanta for almost five months. He's late in getting back home. Worried about her husband, Amanda Smithson manages the crowded and growing school by herself. How will they pay the taxes on the school property if Virgil doesn't return from Atlanta? It will be the mission of the mayor and his wife to do what it takes to keep the new and coltish educational tradition that they began together going and to keep their love alive.
