Publisher’s Description:
She came home to make things right
Will she be given a second chance?
Gloriana Prescott has returned to her Texas hometown to make amends—even if the townsfolk she left behind aren’t ready to forgive. But when her mother’s ranch manager, Justin Broussard, is tasked with saving the struggling rodeo so his teen daughter can compete, Gloriana sees a chance to prove she’s really changed. But can she prove to Justin, and the town, that she’s trustworthy?

My Review:
This is a sweet, thoughtful story about Gloriana, a young woman who has made many mistakes in her life. She’s found new life in Christ; and has now returned home to not only care for her mother, but to try to make amends to those she has hurt in the past. Gloriana walked away from a successful career as a TV newscaster in order to be with her mother, but she’s finding that people are still suspicious of her motives.
As she comes to realize that home is where she belongs, she also discovers that she cares deeply for Justin, her mother’s ranch manager, and his daughter, Kyleigh. Gloriana has a long way to go to earn the trust of her friends and family, but God has blessings in store for her that surpass anything she could imagine.
Redemption is the theme that’s at the heart of this story. There’s a good lesson in this story about asking for forgiveness and walking in God’s love towards others. But the greater lesson for us, as the reader, is that we should be willing to extend forgiveness to others, also.
