"Sundown" by Brenda Joyce
is the story of spinster Emily Anderson. She teaches the local
schoolchildren, helps care for her father's farm, struggles
to deal with her mother's death, and worries about her father's
increasingly frequent drinking. Her days have a dreary sameness--until
one morning when she goes to wake her father for breakfast and
finds instead a handsome, wounded man in her father's bed. Raphael
Caldwell, accused of robbery and murder, needs a place to hide
out, and the Anderson homestead seems as good a place as any.
Raphael's wound heals, but he loses his heart to Emily.
