Principal Hopes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739069919)

When the ambitions of two former friends clash, a much-loved, small-town community school could become the casualty.

Sprucedale Community School principal Joyce Stone has dedicated her career to revitalizing struggling, small-town schools, but now, her career bucket list is empty. Retirement is the next step, or so she thinks, until an unexpected opportunity at the esteemed Silver Heights Preparatory School changes her plans.

Former trust fund baby Vanessa Landry is desperately trying to climb her way back up the social ladder after shunning her family's fortune to become a schoolteacher's wife. Her next move? Getting her daughter out of Sprucedale and into Silver Heights. But every time she tries, Joyce is there, getting in her way.

Will Joyce be able to save her dream job and protect Sprucedale from her once close friend who will stop at nothing to get what she wants? And what will happen when Vanessa is forced to confront the true cost of her aspirations?

A hope-filled, page-turning first novel in the Sprucedale Teachers series about the personal lives of teachers and those they hold close. Dive into this unputdownable story of friendship, ambition, and the power of second chances.
