About this ebook

She's Finally Found a Place to Call Home . . . How Far Will She Go to Save It?

With nothing to their names, young widow Rosa Garner and her mother-in-law return to their Texas family ranch. Only now the county is demanding back taxes and the women have just three months to pay.

Though facing eviction, Rosa falls in love with the countryside and the wonderful extended family who want only her best. They welcome her vivacious spirit and try to help her navigate puzzling American customs. She can't help but stand out, though, and her beauty captures attention. Where some offer help with dangerous strings attached, only one man seems honorable. But when Weston Garner, still grieving his own lost love, is unprepared to give his heart, Rosa must decide to what lengths she will go to save her future.

"Unconventional heroine; engaging secondary characters...brings something new to the genre."--Christian Manifesto

"The twists and turns in this book keep your attention to the very end." --Libraries Alive

Ratings and reviews

I loved this book! What a relief! I have read so many books that had horrible, sad, dry or just plain stupid moments that the good parts in the book couldn't make you forget or make up for. But this book is nearly perfect. The only thing I would wish different is that it was so good at the end and had my smile and attention that I didn't want the story to stop! It was beautiful. It made me happy. More than any other book I have read in a long time. Thank you so much

Good read but lovers angst was drawn out too long.

I couldn't stop reading this book. I never knew what was going to happen next. Such a great book.
