Is it possible for one little girl to survive against all odds?

Nobody said that pioneer life would be easy- but Rose never could have guessed how difficult it would truly be, or how strong she would have to be to get through it. She had come out West to settle down with her family- but all it did was tear them apart. 

Her mother did not make it to their new home out West, and her father seems more focused on his bottles of alcohol and his grief than on his daughter. But Rose is determined to not just survive, but to turn this new land into a real, true home.

Just when she gets a bit of hope, the whole world seems to come crumbling down atop of her, and Rose suddenly finds herself facing the dangers of settling out West completely alone. She struggles to cope with the realities of pioneer life- opportunities, grief, hope and danger- and finds that there may be even more to this new life than she first thought.All Rights Reserved

She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?

The Journey and love by Basetsana948

The story is about how life is difficult and confusing, it conveys that as person you can start out good, with everything given to you on a silver platter and end up struggling to get everything on the silver platter. You may start out good but end bad depending on certain things in your life, you may start out good and end successfully or also start out bad but end successfully either way it's life. Our destinies and journey are different same as how our purpose in life is different so we won't start out the same neither end the same. In this book we will learn about the journey of a specific lady on how she started and ended and compare to those available in the book and the reality of life. Note that we don't choose families we are born in and the situation you are born in doesn't determine your future, but your mind set does and there are things that our parents did in the past that affects our future such as secrets kept in the name of our safety. Always remember that there's a bright light in every end of the tunnel and if the tunnel you chose is a dead end find another tunnel to crawl through till you make it.
