| Sometimes it just doesn’t pay to get up in the morning; for Jana Kincaid, she had been paying for that privilege her whole life, especially the last ten years! The wreck that killed her mother and robbed her sister and her father of their right to have her in their lives, was caused by Jana; she was driving, her mother died, so it was her fault. The fact that she had lost a leg, had scars all over her body that would never go away, and she lived in constant pain did not seem to be payment enough as far as her sister and father were concerned. She must pay for the rest of her life. Her life had to be given to ensure that Valisa, her younger sibling by ten years, was waited on hand-and-foot and catered to constantly. That was the penance Jana would pay for the rest of her life.
Valisa was a barrel racing champion at the rodeo, and Jana took care of her and also had to go out of her way to accommodate Valisa’s every desire. This time, it was a 200-mile trip to central Montana so that Valisa could visit her latest lover, Bobby. That he worked at a ranch owned by Mr. Carl Harrington, and worked by several other cowboys, made it a bonus as far as Jana was concerned—as long as nobody tried to get too close to her. . The accident severed her vocal chords, so she could not speak. When Dan began to notice her, Jana was aware that this was the first time in 10 years a man had looked at her. Ms. Leanne Karella has written a truly remarkable love story about how cruel family can treat some of its members. She allows Jana and Dan to find each other, but will the family tear them apart? And what about Dan’s past? Does he have a reason to hide the truth? This story has some extraordinary twists and turns which will emphasize her ability to intrigue readers. Wonderfully written, this book belongs on your “keeper” list!
