Sweetgrass Springs

THE TINY TOWN WHERE HEARTS GO TO HEAL

"Jean Brashear's distinctive storytelling voice instantly draws in the reader. She writes with warmth and emotional truth.”~ #1 NY Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber

Nestled in the Texas Hill Country, tiny Sweetgrass Springs was founded by four veterans of the Texas Revolution, and for over a century the town and their ranches grew and prospered. Nowadays, however, too many of the town's children leave for the big city as soon as they can escape, and Sweetgrass is barely hanging on.

The heart and soul of Sweetgrass is Ruby Gallagher, once a scandal for bearing a child out of wedlock and refusing to identify the father. Her daughter vanished from Sweetgrass right after high school, but Ruby, owner of community gathering place Ruby's Café, remains, keeping vigil, hoping for her daughter's return. With the help of rancher Ian McLaren, she is fighting to save her ancestors' legacy, but the town is dying, and it's breaking Ruby's heart.

And then the grandchild she never knew she had comes looking for her roots, bringing life and hope with her.

If only she and Ian can convince Scarlett to stay.
