Two Independents
Rogue wolves, cowboys with crushes, and cattle drives await Susie Stetler as she steps into an unwanted summer in the mountains with her grandmother and eight year-old step-brother. The fifteen year old dread-locked surfer girl can only dream of riding the waves in California as she fights to survive one of the hottest summers on record.
"Two Independents" is a fast paced family adventure about two powerful women: a sixty-five year old grandmother who wants nothing more than to see her disjointed family brought back together and a fifteen year-old teen who discovers that she is stronger than she thinks.

When Susie Stetler's mom forces her to spend the summer with her grandmother in British Columbia, this California surfer girl is inferno hot mad. But her circumstances forced her to face a life-threatening forest fire, putting her in charge of getting her family to safety.
This Country Life story is phenomenal. Cute California 15-year-old surfer girl meets handsome, just turned 18, cowboy. That alone is enough for multiple stories. But this title throws in a blended family, a cattle drive, and a forest fire. The resulting fusion of ideas provided a ripe setting for the tale. While some tragedy should be expected, overall, the story ends well.
Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Great world building. Page-turner. Romantic. Scary. Tragic. Unpredictable. Whimsical. Wonderful characters.
