A Hopeful Path of Her Own

When her father suddenly passes away, Chrissie is left in the lurch, suddenly in charge of her three younger sisters, Betty, Alicia, and Nellie. While having to handle the impact of their father’s death on her little sisters, she is also forced to learn as much as she can about running the family ranch. There is no one else—only she can make the decisions from now on.

The realization that she is the head of the family now is overwhelming…

Chrissie relies for help on the ranch foreman her father hired some years back, Joe Taylor. Joe is well-liked on the ranch as the foreman, keeping things working smoothly and efficiently. He has many skills and he’s a kind, intelligent man. Chrissie really needs someone she could trust to teach her how to do the job and Joe seems to be the best candidate for that position.

Could he be the support she was looking for, or even something more?

Just when Chrissie is starting to take charge of her new life, an old friend returns to town and immediately asks her to marry him. She is now faced with a dilemma though, as Joe has captured her heart and she is fairly certain he is feeling the same way about her. How could she ever choose between her heart and her family’s well-being? Should she marry the wealthy gentleman that will provide for everyone or the one who owns her heart? Would the truth about everything reveal itself in time for her to make the right decision?
