Home on the Range

Can the brother left behind and the woman who lost hope work together for the good of two precious children?

Nick Stafford stayed in Central Washington, working his family’s large ranch after his brothers left to pursue other passions—but his toughest job has always been being a single dad. He watched his father fail at marriage and parenting, so Nick is determined to show him up. He'll be a better husband, father, and ranch manager than Sam Stafford ever was. Yet despite that commitment, three years after his wife left him, he has a daughter in trouble at school and both girls are facing issues that force him to rethink his stubborn plans.

For Dr. Elsa Andreas, life fell apart when tragedy caused her to abandon her family therapy practice and retreat to the backwoods of Gray’s Glen. Her school principal sister believes Elsa can guide the Stafford girls, and that working with kids will draw Elsa out of her protective bubble.

Summer on the Double S teems with life and adventure. Amidst the bounty of God and land, will Nick and Elsa find the courage to build futures based in faith rather than fear?
