title: A New Beginning (Kansas Crossroads) (Volume 1)
author:  Amelia C. Adams 
description: Amelia C. Adams is a wife, a mother, and a novelist. She spends her days dreaming up stories and her nights writing them down. Her biggest hero is her husband, and you might just see bits and pieces of him as you read her novels. She loves all things historical and enjoys learning about days gone by, but she's glad she was born more recently (she won't say how recently or not recently) because the Internet is awesome, and she's glad she doesn't have to wash her clothes by hand in a galvanized tub. She has hit Amazon bestseller status twice, once for A Clean Slate and once for A Clear Hope.

  Grace McAllister looked around the empty dining room at the Brody Hotel and sighed. Just
  moments before, the place had been filled with loud customers and chaos, but they had then trickled
  out, leaving dirty dishes in their wake. The silence was such a nice change.
  She’d been asked to fill in as the dining room manager while Giselle and her new husband, Jesse
  McVey, were on their honeymoon, and it was
