Status Updates From Opal (Dakotah Treasures, #3)

Ruby continues to scold Opal from not being a proper lady & Opal cannot wait for school to be over. She wants to convince Ruby to not make her go back to school but to be on the ranch. Lucky schools over for the summer now. Per started walking & Ruby is feeling sick, which signs are pointing to another baby on the way. The man Opal & Atticus strung up is sticking around town still and now he has a friend with him.

Again we see Opal on the ranch & see just how much she embraces it. Ruby needs to accept Opal is not her.
Fatherhood for Jacob is off to a rough start. In 24 hours he lies to a townsman looking for his horse & buggy Melody had rented, resigned from his position with the church, & left in the middle of the night with his son. The man has said he found the horse by the bridge & a piece of fabric on the rail.

The 2 perspectives is that of Opal Torvald and Jacob Chandler.
Opal's first couple ch.'s we see her get into some trouble with a drifter & Atticus helps get her out of it. Ruby & Rand have a son. Opal's made for ranching & Ruby seems to have embraced it.
Jacob's first couple chapters we see him preaching (he's a minister), struggling with his past for unknown reasons, & his ex brings him his son he didn't know about.
