The Game of Love #[nn]

In "He Won't Propose," Rita, a volunteer teacher in Appalachia, finds her well-intentioned advice met with resistance when she misunderstands the hardships faced by her student Sally Ann and her widower father, Ray Whitley. Through quiet persistence and growing connections in the close-knit community, Rita slowly earns their trust—until Ray’s newfound success with his fruit strains leads to a surprising turn in their relationship. Charles Nicholas’s expressive artwork brings warmth to this heartfelt story, while Vince Alascia’s inks lend depth to the rural setting.
