This is clean story about second chances--not so much with a guy and a gal--but with life itself. Brenna grew up with an extremely abusive father--once he died she decided that she had to get away to try to come to terms with her life and to be able to get on with it. She went from Florida to Alaska where there was a farm where they helped people. She left her Mom and younger sister behind (they were not too thrilled).
She made fast friends with a gentle horse amd eventually with a couple of other people. Aside from working in the kitchen as a cook-she did have therapy. Then she met a guy. After her father she trusted no men-but he was really patient! He had a background that he wasn't too proud of--but eventually they came clean with each other.
There was one section that had me literally belly laughing with tears running down my face-it has to do with ice skating--I am sure you will both laugh and cry with this one. This one is not to be missed!

To claim her future, she’ll need to forget her past.
When Brenna’s abusive father dies, she seizes the opportunity to flee to Memory Ranch in hopes that the majestic horses and caring staff at the ranch can help her overcome a past filled with abuse and neglect.

He wants to help Brenna conquer hers as well, but opening up to friendship--and possibly love--is the scariest thing she's had to face yet.
Will Brenna find the strength to move forward and forgive those in her past who turned a blind eye to her helplessness? And when at last she strips all the hurt away, will there be any part of her left?

About the Author: (from Amazon)
Melissa Storm is a New York Times and multiple USA Today bestselling author of Women's Fiction, Inspirational Romance, and Cozy Mysteries.
Despite an intense, lifelong desire to tell stories for a living, Melissa was "too pragmatic" to choose English as a major in college. Instead, she obtained her master's degree in Sociology & Survey Methodology--then went straight back to slinging words a year after graduation anyway.
She loves books so much, in fact, that she married fellow author Falcon Storm. Between the two of them, there are always plenty of imaginative, awe-inspiring stories to share. Melissa and Falcon also run a number of book-related businesses together, including LitRing, Sweet Promise Press, Novel Publicity, Your Author Engine, and the Author Site.
When she's not reading, writing, or child-rearing, Melissa spends time relaxing at her home in the Michigan woods, where she is kept company by a seemingly unending quantity of dogs and two very demanding Maine Coon rescues. She also writes under the names of Molly Fitz and Mila Riggs.
