Jocie of Serene Valley: Book Three

Book excerpt: When her parents are killed by a drunk driver, Jocie is thrown into an unstable world of hardship and horror that no young girl should have to endure. At the mercy of a broken foster care system, she is left without a roof over her head at the vulnerable age of eighteen. Lost and looking for her place in the world, she is abducted by a half-witted man whose momma told him to "catch a woman." He doesn't understand the implications of what he's done and believes he caught Jocie "fair and square," and now she belongs to him. Caught like an animal, unable to outrun her captor, Jocie must call on her extraordinary courage-though petite in stature, she is a mile tall in her will to survive. Her struggle to escape her kidnapper leads her to Serene Valley Angus and Quarter Horse Ranch, where a promising new life may unfold...if she can survive what awaits her. Fans of The Jewelry and Cat of Serene Valley will be thrilled to welcome familiar characters as Jocie fights to reclaim the life that belongs to her.
