Though grateful for the blessing of her daughter, Carissa Lowe has accepted that widowhood is her lot in life. Bound by fear and mistrust, she feels incapable of opening her heart again.
Tyler Atherton has never forgotten Carissa. When he discovers she’s living with her sister on a nearby ranch, his life becomes intertwined with the lovely widow’s. And Carissa’s daughter, Gloria, seems determined to wrap herself around his little finger. But while Tyler longs to provide a home and future for Carissa, he is haunted by an obligation he feels unable to fulfill.
Challenged by mounting hardships, can Carissa and Tyler preserve their fledgling love in a land as unforgiving and vibrant as the people who call it home?

"Christian love story"
I am a non-believer and really can not relate to strong Christian preachings. I wish that this book had been listed as a Christian romance. The story line was ok, there was very little indication that this was a Christian lit early in the book, but it gets really thick towards the late middle to end of the book. Which is disappointing because I had so much time invested in the story. Praying and scripture turned me off, but if this is your thing, then it would be enjoyable. I did try to ignore the Christian overtones in order to finish the book, but I will be getting a refund.
