TJ Meridian returns with two friends to her childhood home in Meridianville, Texas, with secret plans to bring prosperity back to an area her father nearly destroyed a decade earlier. But when her prize horse falls ill, she learns in a confrontation with the local vet, Dr. Mare Gillespie, that the town still hates the Meridians, and there is no shortage of townspeople willing to show their disdain, even violently. Mare Gillespie is a woman with her own secrets. She's lost her mother, and she would like to find the father she never knew. But her veterinary work gets in the way of her single-minded search-until TJ comes along and distracts her. As TJ and Mare work through personal misunderstandings, a night attack on TJ's ranch, and an ecological disaster, a grudging respect grows between them. Will TJ be able to win the town's respect, too? And can there ever be a place for Mare in TJ's life? True Colours is the exploration of hope and love, one woman's search for family, and the other's struggle to clear her name.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I wanted to enjoy it. There were too many things I couldn't believe or didn't like;
- The town spends years hating the Meridian family, they even suspect main character TJ Meridian might be responsible for putting poison in a water stream. Yet all is forgiven and forgotten in the course of one night by making some promises and throwing around money?
- There's this one part, can't recall the details but we just conveniently skip ahead in time so there's a lot we miss out on.
- Mare, the second main character finds her biological father. They are both overjoyed and within a few lines of their first meeting Mare is already calling him dad. Sorry, don't believe it.
- The way the psychologist acts, again, I don't believe it.
- Too much cheese.

Overall it was just too unrealistic. Not sure if I'll be reading the sequel.
