The Bequest

Written by B. E. Baker

Narrated by Jennifer Jill Araya and Gail Shalan

Two widows, six kiddos, and a will that leaves them a massive cattle ranch, but only if they work it for a year. 

Abigail and Amanda may have married brothers, but they have almost nothing else in common (and really, they never did get along very well). After their husbands both pass away, they have no reason to interact. Their connection drops to an awkward phone call on birthdays and an exchange of holiday cards.

Until an eccentric uncle of their husbands' leaves a massive cattle ranch to the women's minor children. . . if they work the ranch themselves. A ranch that's located near a small town on the border of Wyoming that isn’t too keen on outsiders.

They're both going to turn the bequest down, clearly. It’s not like either of them could properly raise their kids or find love again in a backwater province like Birch Creek. But when things at home change dramatically—for both moms—they decide to give it a try. . . just for the summer.

What could possibly go wrong in a mere three months? (Or more importantly... what might go right?)

Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Pamela Kelley said, "B. E. Baker takes you right to the heart of the small town that two widowed sisters-in-law land in very unexpectedly. Can they survive the year they need to spend there to keep it? I really enjoyed reading Bridget's romantic women's fiction debut."

Reviews for The Bequest

[Gigichet · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great Book!! If you have not read The Bequest I highly recommend that you do. This is the first book in the Birch Creek Ranch series so I have 6 more books to indulge in and read to my hearts content. I love a good romance story and this book has two...yeah! Isn't it crazy that you can know someone but you do not really KNOW them until you have to work and live together to solve a problem. I love a little town and Birch Creek is no different everyone is so nice and always willing to help their neighbors. Well I have a few hours before bed so I am going to start The Vow. Happy Reading!!!
