The last thing Linda Moore expected--or wanted--as a college graduation present from her Aunt Hattie was a rundown gift shop that was Midvale's best known "white elephant." But Linda knew she couldn't refuse the shop--not without breaking sick old Aunt Hattie's heart. Still, what about her own heart? Taking over the shop meant putting off her marriage to handsome young Professor Karl Rollins--and Karl didn't like to be put off. He gave Linda an ultimatum: Give up the shop and marry him right away, or their engagement was off. Torn between her love for Karl and her loyalty to Aunt Hattie, Linda made the only choice she could. But it was some time before her heart learned how right that choice was.
