The Mountain Pass: Family

By Tamara Ann Sparby

The Mountain Pass Family - Book 3
Tell me you don't recognize her.
The woman who has three people beside her who would carry anything she asked - a husband who anticipates what she needs before she names it, a sister who shows up without being called, a brother-in-law who handles the hard conversations so she doesn't have to.
She knows how lucky she is.
She just cannot stop.
The ranch belongs to all of them. The business belongs to all of them. But the cabins going up on that Montana ridge - the three new builds, the dream she sketched on a napkin two years ago and has been driving toward ever since -
Those are hers.
She is not handing them to anyone.
Because the moment she does, it stops being hers.
Except her body has opinions about that. Her husband has opinions about that. And for the first time in her life, Sam Travers has not one mother who knows best - but two. Her own, who has been reading her since before she had words. And her mother-in-law, who has just moved from Texas to the ranch next door with a lifetime of certainty about exactly how things should be done.
What happens when the husband who loves her starts quietly finishing the things she's dropping - and she finds out?
It isn't the help that hurts.
It's what the help means.
What happens when the dream you built is finally, undeniably working -
And you are the only thing in its way?
Sam Travers is about to find out that the hardest structure she has ever attempted to build has nothing to do with lumber, permits, or Montana weather.
That letting people help carry something is not the same as dropping it.
That the family crowding her kitchen, finishing her sentences, and showing up uninvited with casseroles and opinions is not evidence that she is failing.
And Sam Travers, who has never asked for help in her life, is about to discover that the dream doesn't disappear when you let someone else hold a corner of it.
It just gets bigger than she could have carried alone.
The Mountain Pass Family. The book about the hardest thing a woman who builds things will ever have to build.
Herself.
