At the Edge of the World: Snow Stings My Boots and Skin, but Rita Won’t Buy Wellies—She’d Rather Wear Knee-High Boots, Though Here They’d Look Odd, and Dad’s Frozen Her Credit Card. “Are You Really Going to Live in a Village?” He Sneered—He Hates the Countryside, Nature, Anything That Isn’t City Comfort—and Gosha’s Just Like Him, Which Is Why Rita’s Heading for Rural Life. She Doesn’t Truly Want to Stay Forever, Prefers Hiking and Tents to Milking Cows, But Tells Dad She Does. He Scoffs—Wants Her to Marry Gosha, His Reliable Right Hand, Insists That’s Their Plan. But Rita Loathes Gosha’s Droning Voice, Sausage-Like Fingers, Boastful Talk of Suits, Watches, Cars—Money That’s All They Care About—While She Wants Love and Heartache, Not Predictable Stability. So She Chose to Teach in a Village School With No Internet, Hot Water, or Plumbing; Gosha Lasted One Night. Winter Arrives, Bringing Cold and Chores, but Rita Refuses to Give Up—She’s Responsible Now, for Herself and Her Small Class of Twelve, Whom She Slowly Learns to Love for Their Wood Carving, Poetry, Kindness, and Lambs. Only One Child, Tanya, Remains Distant; Her Father, Vladimir, Gruff and Silent, Appears Just When Rita’s Struggling With Firewood. Tanya’s Struggles Trace Back to Loss—Her Mum Gone, Her World Reduced—And While the Deputy Head Insists She’s Hopeless, Rita Sees Possibility, Visits Their Home, Connects Over a Pink Bunny Named Plushie. She Perseveres, Teaching Tanya in Her Own Way, Winning Progress and, Eventually, an Invitation to Their New Year Celebration. Just as Dad and Gosha try to lure her back—Gosha even arrives with champagne and gifts, offering a velvet ring box—Rita’s heart is pulled by the quiet, snowy village, Tanya’s art, and Vladimir’s tenderness. Rejecting Gosha’s proposal, she chases after those who truly matter—her pupils, her calling, and the promise of love and belonging at the snowy edge of the world.

Leonard Refused to Believe Ira Was His Daughter, Distrustful Due to Rumours About Vera’s Flirtations at the Shop—He Never Loved His Fragile Child, But Grandpa Matthew Cherished Her, Left Her His Countryside House, and Predicted She’d Find Happiness There Ira Was Loved Only by Her Grandfather During her childhood, delicate little Ira was often ill. Leonard would insist, “No one in our families is this tiny! How could she be mine?” His indifference passed on to her mother, Vera. Grandpa Matthew, a retired forester living at the village’s edge near the woods, was the only one who cared for Ira. Locals found him odd; his predictions often came true, and they sought his herbal remedies. With his wife gone, the forest and Ira were his comfort. She mostly lived with him, learning about healing plants and dreaming of becoming a nurse, even as her mother claimed there was no money for school. Grandpa reassured her, promising help even if it meant selling the cow. Grandpa’s Will Promises Home and Fortune Vera rarely visited her father, but appeared when her son lost money gambling. Grandpa refused to pay the debt: “I’m not covering for Andrew’s mistakes—I need to support my granddaughter.” Furious, Vera shouted she’d disown her family and stormed off. Only Grandpa helped Ira attend nursing college, and her scholarship supported her studies. Before she graduated, Grandpa fell ill. He reminded Ira he’d left her the house, advising her to find work in town but keep the home alive—“Stay in the house and happiness will come to you,” he predicted. Grandpa Matthew’s Prophecy Came True After Matthew died in autumn, Ira commuted from the city hospital to maintain her grandfather’s home. One snowy weekend, a young man named Stan knocked, his car stuck outside. After helping dig him out, Ira invited him for tea, and Stan was charmed by her courage. Their acquaintance grew, and Stan offered Ira a lift to the district center. Soon, Stan surprised Ira with a visit, joking that her herbal tea must be magical because he couldn’t stop thinking about her. There was no wedding—Ira declined—yet sincere love blossomed. Stan was devoted, carrying her in his arms as she read about in novels. When their first son was born, nurses marvelled that such a tiny woman had a strapping baby boy. Ira named him Matthew, in honour of her beloved grandfather.

Nobody Was Expecting Him When our dad, with his free-spirited ways and his habit of leaving for work in far-off places, disappeared for good, I was in Year 6 and my sister Masha was just starting school. He and Mum had never married—Dad was a roamer, always coming back with money and gifts when it suited him. Mum loved him blindly and put up with his absences, while Dad’s brother, Uncle Nick, watched over us whenever Dad was gone. Uncle Nick was quietly dependable, never making his feelings obvious, but always there for us. He fixed things, took us for walks at weekends, and one year installed a gymnastics wall in our hallway—by then, Dad had been absent for nearly six months. As we grew, Uncle Nick became more central, even as my sister clung to Dad’s memory and his promises of presents. But Dad never returned. Uncle Nick stepped up even more, supporting Mum, eventually confessing his feelings. Mum battled with her heart, torn between loyalty to Dad and the genuine devotion of Uncle Nick, but ultimately, our family changed; Mum married Nick, had another son, and stability returned. As I graduated from school with good marks, our family was celebrating when, out of the blue, Dad walked in the door, disrupting our lives with his unexpected presence. But this time, Mum stood firm, and Uncle Nick—our real dad in every way that mattered—stayed. Even though our world was shaken, in the end, our new family endured. Nobody had been waiting for him.

Never Expected Our dad vanished when I was in Year Five and my sister, Lucy, was just starting Year One.
