Whoever warned mamas not to let their babies grow up to be cowboys never saw the man in Dr. Rachel Donovan’s waiting room. But good-looking cowboys should come with their own warning – TROUBLE!
At seventeen, Rachel’s illusions about romance were trampled by a rouge cowboy. In the fifteen years since, she steered clear of spurs and Stetsons – until she finds herself roped into chairing the Shady Grove Centennial Rodeo Committee. How will she handle working so closely with the one man in town she most wants to avoid?
Ex-rodeo star Jack Westwood never forgot his unrequited teenage fascination for Rachel Donovan, but now that he’s back in town, he barely recognized the woman she’s become. Jack can’t help but wonder…Is the feisty cowgirl he remembers still there beneath the shutter exterior.
When a secret from long ago comes knocking Rachel fights to maintain her sterling reputation. But can the woman who has devoted her life to healing others allow God to mend her own hurts? Will she seize the opportunity to reconcile with her own past and open her heart to love again?

This still-grieving, single mom is torn between memories and realities. And wants desperately for God to heal her family.
For Andy, tall and blonde like Marty, being forced to live with strangers is just one more reason not to trust anyone. Her soul is as beat up as the run down Blue Moon Drive-In the family owns. But Tuesday night is family night at the Blue Moon. And as Andy’s hopes fade, healing come from the last place she wanted or expected – the hurting family and loving God she fought so hard to resist.
I had the pleasure of reviewing Andrew Clarke’s novel, Outcasts of Skagaray, a while back.

This is a heartfelt story of a foster child who is running after love. After the death of his grandmother, Jeremiah bounces around from home to home. Each home he runs into eventually returns him to Children’s Services leaving him feeling unwanted and unloved. Holding on to the ‘strong words’ his grandmother instilled in him, he keeps the last strand of his hope from unraveling.
Jeremiah loves to run, but running usually leads him into trouble. No one seems to understand his need to run. Other don’t understand how running makes him feel set free like a caged bird. However, Jeremiah is consequently negating his future by running away from his past and he doesn’t realize the affect it is having on his present situation.
Nevertheless God has a plan, but will Jeremiah’s mustard seed faith grow into an answered prayer?
Mabel Elizabeth Singletray engages her readers with the compelling story of a foster child who, like all foster children, wants to be part of a family. Singletray stirs up emotions that cause the reader‘s heart to ache for the character Jeremiah. An excellent read for children and adults.
