Cowboy's Kiss (1995)
“She and Meggie were there alone, and since her daughter had just gone into the bathroom to change into her pajamas and brush her teeth, Ally let herself fall back over the bed like a newly cut tree to wait for her.
As she did, the full impact of where she was struck her. Not only where she was logistically—in Wyoming, on a ranch, of all things; away from the city she’d grown up in; away from all her friends and family—but also where she was in her life.
Divorced, a single parent, struggling mis...erably for the past three years, and now a part owner of a ranch, a house, other buildings, land, cattle, horses, oil and mineral rights to wells and mines that were apparently high producers. Not to mention the share of cash, stocks and bonds Shag had left her.
None of it was what she’d ever envisioned for herself—not that anyone grew up with a desire to fail at marriage and be left struggling to raise a child alone. But equally shocking was the good turn things had taken. That part was like winning the lottery, just when she’d needed to.MoreLess
