The Give and Take of Loans

Way back when, Grandpa Rowdy would take them to the fishing hole on a treasured forty acres near Abilene, Kansas. These next-door neighbors learned to get along at arm's length, but when the crucible of collapsing finances routs Jodie Givens off the prosperous Rocking G Ranch, all she has left is Rowdy's grandson, Reece Myers, to shelter her horse and offer a stabilizing friendship. Re-inventing oneself takes a nose-to-the-grindstone approach, but along the way sentimental trinkets are preserved from the estate and time spent together turns precious. Perhaps her grandfather and former farm foreman Rowdy knew what they were doing by holding the forty acres as a loan between friends back in the day--and maybe Jodie hasn't lost everything--yet.
