This is a 10,000 word novella about a woman whose boss dies and she goes to work for a neighboring rancher. Wondering why people want her dead, she eventually learns the truth of who her father is and also the truth about her mother. Can she recover from the past? Can her new boss keep her alive, help her to keep on trying, and lose his loneliness in the process? This is a clean, fast, short read. Thank you for considering my story.
