The Abandoned Farm

When Alex Marsh inherits an old, abandoned farm in New Hampshire from his eccentric, he uncovers a decades-old secret that casts a shadow over the property. With the help of a mysterious girl named Sherry, whom he becomes increasingly drawn to, Alex begins to piece together the tragic history of the farm’s previous owners, the Crosbys. As he digs deeper, Alex must confront the moral dilemma his uncle faced and decide how to make things right. Can Alex unravel the secrets of the farm, find justice for the Crosbys, and find love with Sherry?

Connie’s Mistake

Connie Elliott, ward of the upstanding Deacon Stannard, struggles between her privileged upbringing and a longing for the simple country life at the Stannard farm, where she spent an idyllic Christmas as a child. Charming but irresponsible playboy Harry Morris disrupts Connie’s world when she falls for him, leading to a sham marriage that leaves her heartbroken when his true character is revealed.

As Connie rebuilds her life, she grows closer to the deacon’s honorable son Kenneth, but the secret of her ruinous pseudo-marriage to his cousin Harry looms over their budding romance. With Harry’s unexpected return with a new wife and baby, Connie must face her past, find a way forward for herself and those now depending on her, and open her heart to true love.
