Author made a risky move, with all of his main characters being female. I think that he proves that a man can write female parts and do it well. Book should appeal to a variety of readers, as the three female lead characters are all searching for meaning, on some level. It is not too heavy on the romance, but there are definetely romances. Also, some scenes with "bad guys" and a solid story on the difficulty of running a ranch. I did not want to put this book down, very well done

Outstanding novel about secrets and loss and the choices we make while just living our lives. On a remote South Dakota ranch, a suddenly-widowed woman struggles to keep her live afloat in the wake of a devastating discovery.
