About this ebook

Lucas Gillette recruited his 18 year old grandson, Mark, to accompany him on a search of a lifetime. His mother, Ruth Hayes, had left her family in Colorado, when she was just a teenager, to live with her grandparents in NY while she finished school, but for some unknown reason, she'd never returned. No one in New York knew of this family connection to Hayes, Colorado until Ruth had finally told her husband, as he lay on his death bed, that she could have family living out West. Although Lucas had tried, he'd learned very little before his mother's death, but he's determined now to find out if there could still be relatives in this small Colorado town.
Their summer adventure took them across Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, and then south in Wyoming, and Colorado until they reached their destination just west of Pueblo, Colorado. Finding relatives was exciting and more wonderful than they'd ever expected. A wedding, a romance for Mark, and many other experiences of fun and surprises filled their days and evenings.The family was united and all was well at the Haven of Rest Ranch.

Sally M. Russell

When her first husband passed away at an early age, Sally had two teenage boys to try to guide through that difficult time. She had also gone back to a very responsible job, which frequently required extra hours, so she quickly learned the struggles of a single parent. After several years, she remarried and retired, and then decided to start writing at age 75. She had read quite a few romance novels and one day while she was reading a very disappointing one, she thought she could write as well as several of the books she'd read recently. She sat down at a hand-me-down computer and started typing. That's about all she knew how to do on the unfamiliar machine. She had always been a Royal manual typewriter user, but she had conquered the big Burroughs's business computer at work so she vowed to conquer this little know-it-all machine that kept telling her it wasn't given the right information. With quite a bit of help from her family and a wonderful technician, she finally learned enough to get one novel in correct form to be published. The following ones didn't give her as much trouble, but something was always popping up that made her temper rise and thoughts of throwing it out the window come to mind. Sally can look back now and feel satisfied that she, at least, gave her sons a Christian base to help them in life. She offers a prayer to all those who face the huge task of raising children alone. "May God bless you with strength and wisdom."
