Patience is a schoolteacher on the Minnesota Prairie in 1893. She loves her job, but when she has to confront the single father of one of her students about his lack of interest in learning, she’s left feeling angry. When the two are stuck together in a freak snowstorm in the schoolhouse with Patience’s students, they each learn there’s a lot more to the other than meets the eye.

This is the third book in the Homespun series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaching Patience

Absolute wonderful read, as I had anticipated. Katie Crabapple has such a wonderful ability to draw the greatest attention to the smallest of details, that gives her stories true life. As I was reading "Teaching Patience", I felt as if I were one of the students in the little schoolhouse, trapped by the blizzard. I loved how Katie showed her readers the importance of always being prepared, just as we are to do with the coming of Christ. Mark 13:37 "And what I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch."
I look forward to many more wonderful works from Katie Crabapple. I will and do highly recommend this and all of her stories to anyone and everyone.
Sincerely, Karen Mingues aka Katie Crabapple's #1 fan

I love the way you have drawn out the family's growth. I Look forward to the next book. I'm sure that if it is anything like the last three it will have me hooked. I'm sure I'll be reading it straight through and on to the next one and so on till get on to the last of this series.

Thank you for a well written, enjoyable and clean story. I wish there more of them out.

I enjoyed reading this third book in Katie Crabapple's Homespun Series. Whenever I find an author I enjoy who writes series of books I download all of them to continue to follow the lives of the characters. It was fun to read about Patience who was a young girl in Mail Order Millie as she has grown into a young woman. The story moves along quickly and is a good book for those who like wholesome Christian Romance novels.

Charming story of 1890`s Minnesota farm country and a beautiful young school teacher who falls in love with a divorced father of one of her students. Katie Crabtree is a fantastic artist using words to paint a rich view of farm life on the prairie. She wordsmiths a richly woven tale that shows a strong loving family accepting the divorced father and his son without reservations. Wonderful read. Great effort by Ms. Crabtree....ENJOY

I enjoy all of Katie's books, and this was no exception.
It was lovely to catch up with people from past books, especially Patience, who was a little girl in 'Mail Order Millie' and has blossomed into a young lady who is beautiful inside and out.
I loved the way Patience stood up to Agnes about Charlie! :-)
Thanks, Katie - another winner!
Now I have to be patient and wait till you have time to write another book!
:-)
