Lisa’s firm goes belly-up while Michael’s shuts down after selling faulty heart valves. Desperate, Lisa insists they regroup by seeking refuge in rural Central Texas on land she inherits from a distant relative she barely knows.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n *<\/p>\n* It’s not the ranch Lisa remembers, but a ramshackle money pit. Michael and their teenage son, Andrew, despise the place. Only their young daughter, Jessica, is happy. After a bitter argument, Michael moves to the city. As his job search drags on, Lisa begins to plant roots; friendships develop for her and the children. With the help of Michael’s parents, her neighbor, and the remains of her savings, she begins to return the ranch to its former glory. The couple continues to drift further apart, Michael turning his attention to another woman.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n *<\/p>\n* A call from the sheriff’s department that their son is in custody jolts the couple to the core. Can they repair their relationship for the sake of their son? Or is it too late?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n *<\/p>\n* *<\/p>\n* CLICK TO PURCHASE<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Black Rose Writing <\/a>\| Amazon <\/a>\| Books-A-Million<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Thriftbooks <\/a>\| B&N<\/a> \| BookBub<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n +Add to Goodreads<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n $\"\"$ ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/strong>: An award-winning author, Marie W.
