#2 OF THE RANCH MILAGRO TRILOGY AND THE THREE WOMEN WHO START IT.

Jeannie and Leeza leave Corrie Stratton to face and hire Mack Dorsey if she wished. Mack was a hero with scars to prove it but he wouldn't explain them. We soon learn that Jeannie is pregnant and wants to go back to Virginia to visit the graves of her first husband and child and has Chance Salazar's full support. Leeza Nelson needs to return to D.C. where she is the money-maker for the Ranch. We are invited to share in the family life and doings of the seven chilren that live on the ranch. Two of which were in the process of being adopted by Jeannie and Chance. Little Analissa very readily latches onto Mack as her hero. She wants his promise that he will stay put. We are intoduced to the legend of "La Dolorosa" as she seems to appear at the most opportune moments. Pedro's mother was suspected to be her. Wonderful inter-action of Mack and the children - and Corrie falling for him so she finally hopped into bed with him. Too much baggage on both parties. Corrie wants to keep the children protected from any unpleasantness. Mack wants to teach them to think their way out of danger and fight for their own survival if need be. And of course, Pedro's abusive, drunken father brings danger to Milagro. Boy they are spunky little kids. Thanks to Mack. An excellent relationship love story - a joy to read except ---- Definitely Recommend -- PMS - need to read the whole set to understand the interactions of the three women.

Rancho Milargo....can it work?

Jeannie, Leeza and Corrie where the best of friends. Their dream was to open a foster care ranch. Their plan was to become a full care ranch for orphans. Corrie has come to the ranch to help run it and to give herself a chance to write songs. Mack Dorsey comes to Rancho Milargo with the hope to teach. He presents a challange for Corrie to find out about his past and what is bothering him. Where do the scars on his body come from. He is interested in taking foster kids and orphans, giving them a working ranch and a home environment. Letting them have half a chance before sending them out into the world on their own. Corrie tells him they want a person who will be surrogate parent,teacher, friend and mentor. Before you know it Mack has save Juan Carlos riding on a run away horse. The children accept him and he fits in very well. He and Corrie deal with a ghost. A woman dressed in black walking on the road all alone at night. They deal with a little boy whose mother has left him. They go to town to pick him up after a call from the County Human Resource office. Little do they know the trouble that will come and how Mack, Corrie and the children will handle it while Jeannie and Lessa are gone from the ranch. In helping each other they have healed many hearts.
