About this listen

Abigail and Amanda may have married brothers, but they have almost nothing else in common (and really, they never did get along very well). After their husbands both pass away within a year of one another, they have no reason to interact. Their connection drops to an awkward phone call on birthdays and an exchange of holiday cards.

Until an eccentric uncle of their husbands' leaves a massive cattle ranch to the women's minor children...if they work the ranch themselves. A ranch that's located near a small town on the Wasatch front that isn’t too keen on outsiders.

They're both going to turn the bequest down, clearly. It’s not like either of them could properly raise their kids or find love again in a backwater province like Birch Creek. But when things at home change dramatically - for both moms - they decide to give it a try...just for the summer.

What could possibly go wrong in a mere three months? (Or more importantly...what might go right?)

Enjoyed this from start to finish. Not even going to pretend it's high brow literature, but what it was is well performed, enjoyable, engaging storytelling. I've devoured this over the course of a week while at work and downloaded the second one to start immediately. If you enjoy a rolling soap opera of a book with horses, cowboys and female characters where the emotional stories are relatable even if their lives are very different to your own then this is for you. Stumbled across via an Instagram post and very pleased I did. I look forward to finding out what happens to Amanda and Abigail next!

Oh Gosh, I enjoyed this!

Not high brow literature but so easy to listen to.
The character arcs and story lines developed well and a few surprises dotted about.
Mostly this is good for your soul, filling your head with beautiful ranch life and horses and mum life all in the mix.
