Sunrise Canyon

Written by Janet Dailey

Narrated by Jack Garrett

In the heart of Arizona's Sonora Desert, a little girl in need of her father, a woman in need of forgiveness, and a war hero in need of love come together to create a family. Before he left for Afghanistan, Jake O'Reilly had everything-a beautiful wife, a baby on the way, a wonderful life. Three years later, his wife is dead and he is so haunted by his memories of war that he can't bring himself to go home. But when his wife's grandfather tracks him down and persuades him to come work on his ranch, where Jake's daughter is living, he agrees-even though he is reluctant to expose his little girl to the man he's become. At Flying Cloud Ranch, his daughter doesn't recognize the brooding stranger he's become. But the beauty of the ranch and the immediate connection Jake feels with his wife's cousin Kira slowly begins to heal his wounds. Though he doesn't want any complications, he finds himself impossibly drawn to the tough woman who runs a horse therapy program for troubled teens. And as they each begin to imagine a new future, they discover that happily ever after is always within reach-if only you are willing to open your heart.

Reviews for Sunrise Canyon

[juanita.kees · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I'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.

I 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.
