Nineteen-year-old Aldine McKenna is stuck at home with her sister and aunt in a Scottish village in 1929 when two Mormon missionaries ring the doorbell. Aldine's sister converts and moves to America to marry, and Aldine follows, hoping to find the life she's meant to lead and the person she's meant to love.
In New York, Aldine answers an ad soliciting a teacher for a one-room schoolhouse in a place she can't possibly imagine: drought-stricken Kansas. She arrives as farms on the Great Plains have begun to fail and schools are going bankrupt, unable to pay or house new teachers. With no money and too much pride to turn back, she lives uneasily with the family of Ansel Price - the charming, optimistic man who placed the ad - and his family responds to her with kind curiosity, suspicion, and, most dangerously, love. Just as she's settling into her strange new life, a storm forces unspoken thoughts to the surface that will forever alter the course of their lives.
Laura McNeal's novel is a sweeping and timeless love story about leaving - and finding - home.

One of the best! I was enchanted with the narrator's voice and the way it helped with character development.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Practice House?
Great, great historical references. It reveals so much about a time in the United States when people had to endure very challenging times. One of the quotations was "We all deserve better." This kept me hopeful that the circumstances would change for all of them.Any additional comments?
