Fourteen years ago Leah Oliver passed away. Months later, she
finally left Maple Dale Equestrian Center. Or did she? Bethann and
the students wonder. When a small herd of hungry-looking deer show
up at the barn one morning, the girls decide they should feed them.
This sparks a series of events, resulting in their making the six
o'clock news and having to find a permanent home for the deer
quickly before they are killed by sharpshooters. Putting their pain
and differences aside, three generations of women come together to
follow a thread of hope linked to Leah Oliver that could
potentially lead the way.... In a captivating style that is
uniquely her own, MaryAnn Myers introduces you to charactes you
will never forget. They will become your friends; they will become
your family. You will laugh with them, you will cry with them. You
will cheer for them. Enjoy the ride.
