Opis

When fifteen year-old, Susie Stetler, is sent to spend the summer in the mountains with her estranged grandmother and young step-brother, she is faced with some hard choices. From love-struck cowboys to rogue wolves and cattle drives, Susie is in for the adventure of her life, whether she is ready for it or not. Sixty-five year-old June Stetler's precocious and ever-amusing eight-year-old grandson, Billy, dreams of nothing but being a cowboy, and her beautiful surfboard-loving granddaughter with hair like Medusa isn't anything like the charming five-year-old who used to sit and cuddle on her lap. June can only pray that her love, and that of her two gentle Fjords, will be enough to win the teen's trust and bring her disjointed family back together. During one of the hottest summers on record, two generations of Stetler women are forced to make life-altering decisions. If they are wrong, those decisions could cost them their lives. Review, Canadian Horse Journals: "Independence is an exciting, heartwarming tale set in British Columbia's interior. It has all the makings of a great story - for young and old alike. Hesse has created nuanced characters who come alive on the page, and tell a story filled with twists and turns. There is even a bit of a romance thrown into the mix." Independence (formerly known as Two Independents) is the fourth book in The Holiday Series. Like its name, Independence is a stand-alone story.
