December's Barren

By: Valerie Power

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

It's December in Fairy Glen, and everyone should be getting into the holiday spirit.

But Lina's marriage is on the rocks, her job is in jeopardy, and now she's being asked to loan out her extra horse for equine-assisted therapy. Thirteen year old Sam ran away from her parents and lived in the woods until she was rescued by the Fairy Glen equestriennes last month, but she hasn't talked about why, and the horsewomen think riding will help.

Lina has been equally tight-lipped about her troubles, but as Lina and Sam ride together, they bond, revealing painful secrets—Sam's upbringing in a religious fundamentalist sect, and Lina's Bosnian war terror.

But the group Sam ran away from isn't done with her yet. Lina must quest deep into the barren hinterlands—of the American West, and her own memory—to bring justice to those who deserve it.

Meanwhile, Rebecca is on a mission of her own—to find the missing Bartley siblings. A mission funded by a rich and interested party, who has even provided her with motorized transportation to get the job done. Unfortunately, Rebecca is such a rule follower that she has to get her driver’s license first—which means reconnecting with her dad before she can head off to that Babylon in the sand...Vegas Baby!

Along the way, both Lina and Rebecca will be guided by the curious denizens of December's Barren.

Book 3 in the Fairy Glen Suspense Series takes you on a wild ride, with all the quirky characters, strange situations, and unexplained phenomena you loved in the first two books.
