Sunrise Canyon

By: Janet Dailey

Narrated by: Jack Garrett

In the heart of Arizona's Sonora Desert, a little girl in need of her father, a woman in need of forgiveness, and a war hero in need of love come together to create a family.

Before he left for Afghanistan, Jake O'Reilly had everything - a beautiful wife, a baby on the way, a wonderful life. Three years later his wife is dead, and he is so haunted by his memories of war that he can't bring himself to go home. But when his wife's grandfather tracks him down and persuades him to come work on his ranch, where Jake's daughter is living, he agrees - even though he is reluctant to expose his little girl to the man he's become.

At Flying Cloud Ranch, his daughter doesn't recognize the brooding stranger he's become. But the beauty of the ranch and the immediate connection Jake feels with his wife's cousin Kira slowly begins to heal his wounds. Though he doesn't want any complications, he finds himself impossibly drawn to the tough woman who runs a horse therapy program for troubled teens. And as they each begin to imagine a new future, they discover that happily ever after is always within reach - if only you are willing to open your heart.

Knowledge about PTSD from war

JD did a good job of bringing insight to PTSD issues. There were a lot of moving parts of this story and she did a fairly good job of keeping all the balls in the air. The teen stories were superficial which detracted from the book for me. It was an OK read!

Interesting!

Interesting plot and characters, well read by the voice actor. I like how the characters were all so well-rounded, full of good and bad, not over-simplistic.

Heart felt

Easy to listen to, this was a great heart felt book. It always made me want to keep going. I love feel good books, this was definitely one of those.

Great story

Loved the story, characters, twists and turns, info regarding PTSD. Enjoyed the narration also. Made me want to spend some time at the ranch!

My New Favorite
