Where Pastures Meet the Sky

Book excerpt: While flourishing in a vibrant life with her powerful but kind husband, Laurel suffers an unthinkable, tragic loss and finds her life and dreams for the future shattered. As she struggles to pick up the broken pieces and slowly regain a sense of normalcy, she finds her heartstrings pulling her gently back to the high pasturelands and the majestic timber-framed homestead of her childhood. Growing up wild, free, and unfettered on the ranch of her beloved late grandfather had shaped Laurel's view of the world from the time she was a toddler. Experiences of her youth, the gentle wisdom of her grandfather, and the struggles she faced as a young teen are revealed. Now an adult, Laurel is suddenly faced with her past and its history, unveiling the most difficult life decision she had to make when she was just a seventeen-year-old girl. Where Pastures Meet the Sky captures the heart of a teenage girl, the uncertainty of a woman navigating her way through middle age, and the life-altering blessings that are bestowed when one least expects them--in due season, through the quiet yet powerful arrival of redemption.
