🌼ASA JAMES by Jodi Lew-Smith
Journey to 1875 Vermont, where Asa James—an earnest, big-dreaming naturalist raised on a poor farm—steps into a whole new world as a tutor in a grand mountaintop mansion. There he meets the witty, enigmatic Caro Rockwell, and their unlikely friendship soon softens into a sweet, hopeful love. But Mansfield Hall hides secrets that could upend everything. Heartfelt, atmospheric, and full of discovery, ASA JAMES celebrates courage, wonder, and finding connection in the most unexpected places.
