Books like Lessons in love by Nancy Lavo
Following the end of the Civil War, Deborah Marbury moves to Texas with her crippled seven‑year‑old brother to start anew in a house her uncle had left them. Instead of a sanctuary, they encounter an intimidating Indian who occupies the property, threatening their safety and hopes. Deborah’s determination to secure the land clashes with Luke, a wandering guardian bound to protect the heirs of a man who once sheltered him. Stressed by unresolved pasts and looming danger, Deborah and Luke must overcome their disagreements—especially over the brother’s welfare—and navigate a path toward understanding and affection. The story paints the hardships of early Texas settlements, religious faith, and the tension between past loyalty and present needs.
