A novel of love, forgiveness, and the unbreakable bonds of family from award-nominated author Marin Thomas . . .
 
When it comes to family, Ruby Baxter hasn’t had much luck. The important men in her early life abandoned her, and any time a decent boyfriend came along, she ran away. But now Ruby is thirty-one and convinced she is failing her teenage daughter. Mia is the one good thing in her life, and Ruby hopes a move to Kansas will fix what’s broken between them.
 
But the road to redemption takes a detour. Hank McArthur, the biological father Ruby never knew existed, would like her to claim her inheritance: a dusty oil ranch just outside of Unforgiven, Oklahoma.
 
As far as first impressions go, the gruff, emotionally distant rancher isn’t what Ruby has hoped for in a father. Yet Hank seems to have a gift for rehabilitating abused horses—and for reaching Mia. And if Ruby wants to entertain the possibility of a relationship with Joe Dawson, the ranch foreman, she must find a way to open her heart to the very first man who left her behind.

      Ruby Baxter isn't the sort of woman who's been able to commit to one man. She didn't have any good role modelsher adoptive dad shut her out of his life when she turned 16, and what little she knows about her birth parents doesn't paint them as upstanding citizens. On her way to Kansas to start a new life with her daughter, Mia, Ruby decides to visit her birth father for the first time. Hank McArthur is a grumpy old rancher living in aptly named Unforgiven, Oklahoma, but Mia immediately takes a shine to the old man and his horses. As Ruby watches her decidedly dysfunctional family learn more about themselves and each other, she reconsiders her abilities to trust, commit, and love. Thomas, a prolific romance writer, has crafted an introspective and touching women's-fiction novel. While some of the story's loose ends are tied up a bit too tidily, the growth of the main characters feels genuine and sincere. Fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Fern Michaels will enjoy this family-focused story of betrayal, growth, and acceptance.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
