Easton

In this heartwarming dual-timeline story about two people, two centuries apart, joined by loss, blood ties, and the town Easton, Pennsylvania - Peter Kichline and Erin Miles are trying to make sense of life after losing their spouses.

A year after her young husband’s death, Erin Miles has reached a personal and professional milestone - she’s “Doctor Miles” at last! Expecting teaching offers to fill her inbox, she’s soon trolling through The Chronicle of Higher Education for a position, any position. Somehow, though, what few jobs there are would take the recent widow away from her family and friends.

Revolution has come to Northampton County. These are the times that try Peter’s soul. Some of his troops accuse him of not going far enough or fast enough toward independence. Erin is facing similar challenges. She’s always loved teaching, so why does she feel so out of place? And why does one student disdain, even threaten her? What Erin and Peter thought was going to be solid ground has become sinking sand. When you do the right thing, shouldn’t life fall into place? Not for them. Probably not for you.

Have you ever done everything you knew to be right, but life still turned out all wrong? That’s what happens to Erin Miles and Peter Kichline in Easton at the Crossroads. They’ve made critical decisions impacting themselves, their families and community. They were careful. Deliberate. Still, the outcome isn’t favorable.
