Ruby McGavin isn't quite sure what she's doing in the small town of
Cardinal. After the death of her husband, Cole, Ruby is shocked to
learn from his will that she had inherited part of a cattle ranch in the
rustic grasslands of Tokopah County, California. But she is even
more surprised to find out that the family he claimed died years ago is
very much alive.
With
her own family history still haunting her, Ruby arrives in town with her
husband's ashes, intending on selling her part of the ranch back to the
McGavins and leaving town to start a new life. But as she comes to
know them -- in particular the handsome saddlemaker Lucas McGavin --
Ruby learns even more surprising family secrets about her departed
husband and his family that make her wonder if she ever really knew
Cole.
Driven to uncover the whole story, Ruby tries to piece together the lies
she was told with the truths she isn't sure she can believe -- and
uncovers a legacy of pain and denial that has pursued the McGavin family
for too long... |
