A Summer's Change Book II Ronald L Donaghe

By the time the new millenium dawns, Tom and Joel Allen-Reece have been together for thirty-five years. Their daughter Shara is twenty-eight years old and, following the near fatal shooting of both her fathers just four months earlier, she has decided to move back to Common to be with them. They worry about what she might be giving up by moving back home; she worries about them. But what none of the three members of their small family can possibly know is what is in store for their family. It will truly be a season in which their family changes immeasurably, held together by blood for sure but something else entirely more important. Claude Riggs is a wealthy and powerful oil man in North Dakota, and he makes a whirlwind trip home to Minot to handle a situation he finds distasteful-disowning his only son and banishing him to a remote ranch across the width of the United States, as close to the US/Mexico border as he can send him. There, his son Kelvin Riggs must make his own way and either survive or fail. What is in store for Kelvin is something he could never have imagined.
