In Scarlett Dunn's heartfelt inspirational series, three sisters return home to beautiful, enigmatic Whispering Pines, Colorado, and discover the men who'll claim their love . . . As a young girl, Rose Langtry feared her gruff, handsome rancher neighbor. Coming back to Colorado after five years, she's outraged to find Morgan LeMasters ready to hang her brother for rustling and theft. But when the resulting skirmish leaves her injured, Morgan's tender care turns her unease to unexpected closeness . . . and admiration. Stopping Frankie Langtry and his gang has long been Morgan's priority, yet he can't resist Rose's pleas for mercy. As brave and spirited as she is soft-hearted, Rose needs support to keep her family farm from going under, and a marriage of convenience will provide it. Morgan hardly dares admit, even to himself, his longing for a deeper, truer union. But her brother's grudge is bringing danger back to Whispering Pines, and it'll take forgiveness, courage--and a bond built on faith--to create a family and a future together . . .

As if fighting an invisible enemy hasn't been enough of a challenge for everyone, we've also had to listen to an inordinate amount of antagonistic political discourse for the last four plus years. To stay sane, we need to take a step back and try to find some humor in these trying situations. It was important for me to laugh again in my everyday life, and I thought many of you might enjoy a little laughter as well. Since we are all confined to our homes now and cooking more, I pulled out some of my old recipes and renamed them to have some fun. You'll not find diet food in these pages-only comfort food recipes, and if needed, fortifying cocktails to help you deal with the crazies. For everyone who has been branded as deplorables, irredeemables, ignorant rubes, uneducated, ill-informed, racists, misogynists, populists, apologists, xenophobes, homophobes, selfish, chumps, rednecks, Bible-thumpers, Nazis, Uncle Tom, intolerant, bitter clingers, and blah, blah, blah, I hope you enjoy the recipes and have many laughs in the process. Remember, laughter is the best revenge. Love, Laugh, Live.

She'll need it if she's to succeed as a schoolteacher in her old hometown and care for the three abandoned siblings she brought from Boston.

Keeping their ready-made family together is the greatest challenge they've known--but it could also be the greatest blessing."--Page 4 of cover.
