Sam Casey is a school librarian who had left a job in another state because she was in love with Duncan, a teacher at her school who was wacky and wonderful...but didn't seem to know she existed. She's now been established in a private school on Galvaston Island for the past 4 years, Texas, and mostly loving her situation, when it's been announced that Duncan will become the new principal at her current school. She's not sure what it means, and whether she'll need to flee this school, too, in order to save her heart. However, Duncan is no longer the happy-go-lucky dude he used to be. He's serious and seems bent on turning the school into a fortress.
The novel traces his changes, and parallels them to Sam's own life and what she has done to find joy, in spite of her own challenges. At the beginning I had a bit of trouble getting pulled into the storyline, but it didn't take long to want to see what would happen (and what would occur to cause trouble along the way).
