"Together Apart" by Dianne E. Gray

Hannah has lost two of her brothers to a blizzard...a blizzard she herself survived by hiding in a haystack with Issac, who is on the run trying to escape his cruel step-father. It's a bit of a scandal that they were together during the storm, but Hannah and Issac have other things on their minds. They both need a quiet place to work out their feelings and thoughts, and to make a plan for their individual futures. They find this place with Miss Eliza Moore. Working together, they publish weekly editions of the Women's Gazette and turn Eliza's sitting room into a respite place for the farm women who also seem to need a safe haven.

The story, set in 1888 Prairie Hill, Nebraska, is told from the alternating points of view of Hannah and Issac.
