Great Read
Jay and Callie were two different young people who had been raised in totally different ways. Callie was raised with a loving father and Jay’s father was strict and pitting each son against the other. A baby had been left on Callie’s doorstep and she couldn’t find who had left the baby so she kept him and loved him as her own. There was a gang of thieves who was stealing from her and terrorizing her ranch. She became afraid and put an ad in the matrimonial paper for a man who was honest and was willing to share in working her ranch. Jay read it and since his evil brother paid a lawyer to change his father’s will leaving everything him, Jay answered the ad to get a new start in life. Jay and Callie married then marital troubles began as Callie was stubborn and didn’t want change on the ranch. The thieves came back and tried to take her baby. Excitement ensued, Jay protected her and the baby but the baby’s father came for him. A must read to enjoy the ride.

Love prevails over fear
Lydia wrote a story showing how love can grow out of need. She needed help and safety but instead got so much more.

Texas Tale
Interesting story. Living in Texas in the 1800’s was hard enough, but a woman running a ranch by herself was unheard of. This was quite the story!
