Ransom Canyon

Quinn O'Grady, lavender farmer outside of Crossroads, TX, and rancher Staten Kirkland, the widower of her dearest friend, Amalah, have known each other for years. The three had grown up together around Ransom Canyon, but it was the death of Staten's son, Randall, five years ago that brought Staten to Quinn's door. "His rainy day woman" is how Staten sees Quinn. Slowly, though, something is changing. In fact, things seem to be changing all over Crossroads, especially with the arrival of Yancy Grey, a recent prison inmate who is welcomed by the residents of the local retirement community and entrusted with their stories along with their odd jobs. At nearly 16, Lauren Brigman, daughter of the sheriff, wants to experience life without her dad's constant lectures, even if it means living a little dangerously and spending time with Lucas Reyes. Then there's the matter of those stolen cattle.
