Blurb (fromAmazon):<\/strong> When her mother leaves the family to become a Dallas trophy wife, Victoria’s dad moves her and her sister to a North Texas farm to herd cattle and raise chickens.

Meanwhile, her new stepsister takes Victoria’s place in her mother’s heart. Rejection and anger stalk Victoria like a rattlesnake in the cemetery. Good thing she makes friends with a ghost and through him, a good-looking teenaged cowboy. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
