Emma Rosales is the heiress of the largest ranch in Texas—The Thorn. All the responsibilities of managing a million acres now fall into her fifth-generation hands.
A task Emma could handle with her eyes closed…if The Thorn were any ordinary property.
The Thorn is home to many things. Clear, cloudless skies. Miles of desert scrub and craggy mountains. A quiet disrupted only by whispers of the wind. And an ancient web of secrets won’t let Emma out alive without a fight.
The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch is a family saga as large as the state of Texas.
PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:

adventure, and a romance that neither hardships nor time can erase between the main characters.” --Debra Holt,award-winning, multi-published Texas author of series such as The Tremaynes of Texas and The Lawmen Series.

The audio book of THE FIFTH DAUGHTER OF THORN RANCH by Julia Daily dropped on 11/9/22, and I listened to it straight through on 11/10/22. Nine hours and twenty-minutes, well-spent, immersed in the story.
FABULOUS story, the ending is PERFECTION, and the narration is STELLAR. Daily's descriptions made me long for a return to Big Bend and hiking the breathtaking, wide empty spaces still left in Texas...and for a trip to Aggieland. Gig 'em, Emma.
This really is a family saga as big as Texas. I hope the stories within THE FIFTH DAUGHTER OF THORN RANCH continue.
Thank you to the author for gifting me a code to listen on Authors Direct. (I listened at 1.1x.)
