The Education of Josiah Barlow
(2019)(A book in the Prairie Romance series)
A Novella by Maureen Lang
The Education of Josiah Barlow
On the Illinois Prairie, 1877
Ellis Easton is determined to be the first woman to teach at the Townsend School for Boys. She knows there is only one way to be considered: by sending in her application without explaining her unusual name belongs to a woman. The truth is obvious upon her arrival, so it's up to her to convince not only the Headmaster but staff and student alike that being a woman doesn't disqualify her from doing the job.
No one is more against hiring a woman - and in particular such a beautiful one - than Josiah Barlow, whose efforts to understand women in the past have always failed.
An education is definitely in store - but for whom? Ellis, or Josiah Barlow?
Genre: Historical
