In Between Pastures

For the first time in her twenty-two years, Nora Kelly is finding fulfillment in more than just tending cattle. Joining the local horse club and discussing life with her Uncle Ian have brought new light to her life. Everything is going great until Ian goes to the ER and Nora's bright new world is wrecked by two words. It's cancer. Checking fence turns into checking on Ian in the hospital. Rides on Nora's Colt turn to miles in the old pickup back and forth from her house to Ian's tending both sets of cattle. Nora just wants to be as much support to Ian as he has been to her in the past. But the harder she tries to keep everything running the more things fall apart. When James, her old coworker, tries to help, she pushes him away. For how can she accept help without becoming a failure to her uncle, the strongest man she's ever known? When—for the first time—Nora admits Ian might not make it she's forced to consider if ranch chores is the best way to help him. Are the plates she's trying to keep spinning actually pulling her away from the most important thing? Does she have enough time to show her love to Ian before it's too late?
