Ruth Logan Herne's book Home on the Range is the second novel in her Double S Ranch Trilogy, where we find the captivating story of Nick Stafford and his two daughters. It has been three years since his wife walked out on them without so much as a goodbye. Nick is trying to raise his two daughters alone. His parenting methods are not focused on the children's best interest, but are focused on doing a better job than his Dad did with him and his brothers. When he realizes that both his girls are dealing with emotional issues, he finds that he needs to rethink his priorities. Putting his personal frustrations with his Dad aside, Nick takes the advice of friends and family to seek professional help.
Dr. Elsa Andreas is a family therapist who has experienced a traumatic event. Her way of coping with the situation was fleeing to live in a "hobbit hole" deep in the woods of Grey's Glen to recover. It's been four years since the trauma and now it's time to move on. Helping Nick and his girls seems to be the perfect way to get back on track.
Will Nick and Elsa be able to have faith and look to God for help? Will they be able to set fear aside and trust the One who understands?
Home on the Range is an exceptional novel that will keep you fascinated. It is a relatable book with its family conflict, humor, love, and faith. Definitely one to keep on your shelf.
