This Historical Romance Series titled Best-laid Plans is set in the late 1860’s in Sacramento, California.

Three young women arrive in Sacramento, California to teach in one-room schoolhouses in the surrounding rural communities. Their original plans change when God’s plans unfold in ways they never could imagine. Some of which include learning a thing or two about friendship, dependance on God, and the most wonderful gift of all—love. 
Not at all what they are looking for, but everything they need.
