Manuscript Status: With Agent
In the aftermath of divorce and the loss of both parents, Jenn Fisher, who is suspected of killing her ailing father, finds redemption in the mountains of Idaho with the help of her two best friends and her parents’ feisty trail riding buddies.
WHILE STILL REELING from her mother Helen’s apparent suicide, newly divorced Jenn Fisher is suspected of giving a lethal dose of painkillers to her ailing father. The year that follows is a series of failed attempts at avoiding her guilt and grief. With an impulsive second marriage on the brink of ruin and a tenacious detective digging into her past, Jenn escapes to tiny cabin on Ponderosa Lake to focus on healing. When even that isn’t enough to temper her demons, she travels by horseback into the mountains of Idaho with her two best friends and her parents’ trail riding buddies. There, ranch women Glynis Wheeler and Barbara ‘Bo’ Simms teach Jenn the art of forgiveness as she unravels the mystery that could set her free.
