"Julia Daily builds a captivating world by letting her imagination lead the way. The result? A unique story that’s a little Wild West, a little old Mexico, a little ancient history, and a lot rebellious”
“A novel that combines mystery, suspense, adventure, and a romance that neither hardships nor time can erase between the main characters.” --Debra Holt, award-winning, multi-published Texas author of series such as The Tremaynes of Texas and The Lawmen Series.
"A dignified, passionate, and layered tale in a rugged yet picturesque landscape... This book testifies to the rewards of fighting for enduring connections between family members and home."
--RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books

College student Emma Rosales, is the heiress to the largest
ranch in Texas. A ranch that has been run for generations by her female
ancestors. She longs to work as a small-town veterinarian but the obligation to
takeover Thorn Ranch from her mother weighs heavy on her mind.
On a ride to check fencelines, Emma's horse is injured and a
sudden flood forces her into a cave to escape the rising waters. What she finds
inside the cave system will change her life forever.
I really enjoyed the mysterious Texas setting and the unique
plot. Not unlike Alice falling down the rabbit hole, Emma enters a world both foreign
and compelling in its simplicity. Daily does an amazing job of creating a
believable alternate world which kept me turning the page.
The storyline takes a while to develop, but once it gets
going it will suck you in. I won’t go into details as it would give away the
plot! There is a bit of back and forth in time between Emma growing up and as a
student at Texas A &M, which explains the background of the ranch.
Overall, the book is well-written and well-plotted. I
enjoyed the relationship between Emma’s parents with each other and with her as
well as her extended family. The pace picks up once the main story develops and
I found the narrative intriguing. The slow developing romance has a
satisfactory ending.
I give this book 4 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love the sound of this story! Didn't know there was a little romance element, too. Thanks for the review!
