About This Book

A spirited teenage ranch owner and her brother inherit responsibility for a distant friend’s daughter and must decide whether to accept her into their desert household. They devise a discreet plan to learn about the ward without revealing their identities, while the girl copes with an abrupt summons from her boarding school and the prospect of leaving her familiar life. The narrative traces their cautious courtship of new family ties, the practical and moral dilemmas of guardianship, and themes of belonging, responsibility, and coming of age against a southwestern ranch backdrop.
