Home on the Range

by Andrea Renee Cox

Cowboys, western wear, and puppies... What's not to like?

Home on the Range was an enjoyable story about family, faith, and second chances. I especially liked how the author so expertly used the therapy angle. I've seen it used before in books, but it usually makes me feel like I've gone through a crash course in psychology 101. This book, though... the therapy was a beautiful part of the story, enhancing and drawing out the best parts of the themes.

There were a couple of noticeable point-of-view switches, otherwise known as head-hopping, and I wasn't a fan of the heavy emphasis on alcoholism, but I understood it. Those are the reasons why this isn't a four-star read to me.

I loved the aspects of faith, building of legacies, protecting kids, learning to cling to God rather than attempt to please people, and giving second chances just as much as you take them. I'm looking forward to the third installment of the Double S Ranch series. It comes out next spring, and I can hardly wait.
