Daisies Are Forever
April Heatherton, history teacher and volunteer
firefighter, is determined to protect the land she holds dear,
particularly the grave of an unknown pioneer woman who once trekked the
Oregon Trail. Proposed logging operations are encroaching, and April
soon finds herself organizing a local task force to try to stop them.
Yet when April meets handsome Matt Spencer, son of the owner of Johnson
Brothers Logging Company, she much reckon with her escalating attraction
to him. Matt, one of a growing breed of displaced loggers, is also
determined to fight for his beliefs - the right to make an honest living
harvesting the timber. Can April and Matt overcome their differences?
Or will their convictions forever keep them apart?

Review
Reviewed by Ellen Hogan for Readers FavoriteApril is a high school history teacher. She lives in the country by a forest and enjoys walking in the forest for relaxation. There is a pioneer woman's grave in the forest that April calls her special spot. She goes there to think, read poetry and just commune with nature. One day she is visiting the grave when she hears Matt and his father talking about trying to win a contract to cut down the timber in the forest. April tries to make Matt see that the grave should be preserved no matter what. But, Matt only sees that their workers have been without work and need the job to take care of their families. Both April and Matt work to stop a forest fire, April as a firefighter and Matt driving a Cat to make breaks. Just when they realize they are falling in love each feels there is too much conflict between them for them to have a lasting relationship.
Matt and April are both interested in preservation in their own way. Matt's solution shows the love he has for April and what is important to her. A tender love story about two very different people who seem so right for each other.
