Sent by a land-hungry boss to befriend ninety-two-year-old rancher Sydelle Hammer, twenty-two-year-old Bee Wells finds an unlikely, genuine friendship instead. When shady deals and a stroke put Sydelle at risk, Bee must take a stand for the land, her friend, and herself.
Why it’s here: Ninety-two-year-old Sydelle is the novel’s beating heart — fierce, land-rooted, and refusing to be managed out of her own life.
