About this audiobook
Janet Dailey
Janet Dailey's first book -- a Harlequin romance -- was published in 1976. In the twenty years since, she has written 89 more novels and become the third largest selling female author in the world, with 300 million copies of her books sold in 19 languages in 98 countries. Her most recent bestsellers, Masquerade, Rivals, and Heiress, have all sold more than one million copies each. She is known for her strong, decisive characters, her extraordinary ability to re-create a time and place, and her unerring courage to confront important, controversial issues, like alcoholism and sexual abuse, in her stories. All of her novels are meticulously researched, an endeavor she shares with her husband, Bill Dailey. The couple met in 1963, when Janet worked as a secretary for the construction company Bill owned. The two travel extensively to scout story locations, and have visited all 50 states; these days, they are likely to fly, but miss the time when they drove cross country, a trailer attached to their car. Janet Dailey also reads voraciously about every aspect of any subject she writes about; as she remarks, "Accuracy is important in genre fiction; you have to get it right, zero in on the real details. That's the way to make writing come alive and not irritate the readers with carelessness." When they are not traveling, the couple spend time at their home on the shore of Lake Taneycomo in Branson, Missouri. It is the part of the country Dailey loves best, partly because, she says, "The people around me are more interested in their problems and their lives, and that sort of keeps me in touch with reality. They think it's nice that I write, but they really couldn't care less." Allison Janney has been featured on Broadway (Present Laughter), in films (Big Night and First Wives Club) and on television shows on all four networks.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've been a Janet Dailey fan since the late '70s, so reading this book was like coming home to an old friend. This was more than a love story, it was an inspirational tale that addressed very real issues in our modern-day society. Kira's character owns her tough, no-nonsense role as she runs a horse therapy program and Jake is a broken soldier with PTSD. How these two heal each other and the children they work with is a true reflection of Ms Dailey's expertise authorship and will have you falling head-over-heels in love. Add a wonderfully cranky old cowboy and Jake's adorable young daughter, and this is a winning read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received a free advance e-copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley and have chosen of my own free will to post a review. There is a lot going on here. We have an aging and ailing rancher, a horse therapy program for troubled teens, a little girl who misses her dead mother and missing father, the therapist aunt who is filled with guilt, and a veteran with scars of war and severe PTSD. All of this makes for a very interesting and fast moving story. This is a well-written story full of twists and turns with an excellent plot; a story of hope, forgiveness, love, and redemption. The characters are well developed and interesting. The author is an excellent storyteller and writes in a way that lets the reader fully experience the emotions of each character. This book is a keeper and well worth the read. I look forward to reading more from Janet Dailey in the future.
