Roy Hillman loves his family and the farm on which he was raised, but he values his independence even more. One day he hopes to marry someone just like the girl of his high school dreams, now that he has developed into a self-assured man of purpose. Kay Harris chooses to prepare for a life of service to others in the nursing profession, despite not needing to work for a living. She reconnects with Roy four years after she initially knew him as an interesting, albeit non-spectacular, classmate. Together, they renew a sincere friendship and reinforce their shared love for Litton and family. Will they realize that their journeys are no longer separate but entwined? Avid readers of Lisa Smelter's increasingly popular Love in Litton Series now discover how it all began in Roy and Kay - The Beginning.
