Publisher's Synopsis
Willow Pond Farm was a haven for Ritchie back when he was a lost, rebellious teenager. When he inherited it, it was his decision to continue to offer it as a safe haven for children in need of a place to stay...
Summer and Sierra are two sisters whose horrific past culminates in their being removed from an abusive mother and placed into foster care at Willow Pond Farm.
A chronic worrier, Summer has a secret fear that only increases her anxieties during her stay, while Sierra, feeling protective of her older sister, can only wonder what they did wrong to end up being taken away from the only home they have ever known in the first place.
One night, Sierra encounters a stray coonhound dog whose elusive nature has her determined to win over his affections. It is during a tragic, but heroic rescue that the true nature of the dog she has named Atticus is revealed.
Loyalty comes with a price, but who is the one willing to pay it...and endure the consequences?
