Where the Broken Bloom

A man trying to overcome his past. A woman trying to secure her children's future. Can they both learn to live in the present and discover that second chances do exist? Adam Westfield is fresh out of prison and searching for purpose. Determined to build a life he can be proud of, he follows an unexpected opportunity to a struggling horse ranch—and a widowed mother who needs help more than she wants to admit. Unable to find dependable help she can afford, Sage Hammond is running out of options. Keeping the ranch afloat while raising two children leaves little time to worry about her own future. Hiring an ex-con isn't exactly part of the plan, but Adam quickly proves he's more than his past. As friendship grows into something deeper, Adam begins to believe a fresh start might actually be possible. But not everyone is willing to give him a second chance. When trouble comes to the ranch, Adam is willing to risk everything to protect the woman he loves and the family he's found. But will it be enough?
