Robert Maxwell Senior's sweeping power and control over not only the town of Paradise Corners but also his own family led to rebellion in daughter Cassie. She married the man of her choice, poor choice it might have been, to spite Robert, and now raises her son as a single mother. Determined to run her own life and make her own decisions, she declines to visit the family ranch more than once a month or so, despite her son's love for his grandfather.With an absent father, young Zack withdraws into himself. He doesn't understand why his father doesn't keep promises of visits and phone calls. Despite her training as a social worker, Cassie finds she cannot heal her own son. When Hannah dies, the surrogate grandmother leaves yet another hole in the lives of Cassie and her son. Now they will have to move again, since the grandson Andrew Morris plans to sell the home and the cottage they rent. When Cassie literarily drops into his arms, Andrew quickly finds his hands full in more than one way. Despite the protective walls he's built to ensure his emotions never become overly engaged, he can't resist this fiery, sexy woman and her young son. But the past holds a power over Andrew that only he can shake, and only if he's willing to risk more than he ever has before. MY MONTANTA HOME brings about a satisfying conclusion to the Big Sky Country miniseries. The ongoing conflict between family members reaches a climax that brings about a few surprises and new beginnings. Further, Cassie's growing self-honesty regarding her relationship with her family, and especially with her sisters, proves both poignant and understandable. Most importantly, her bold statement of love, and willingness to continue her life and growth despite its reception will strike a sympathetic cord with readers. Unfortunately, author Ellen James was challenged to resolve a huge number of threads, and the conclusion feels a bit rushed. Nevertheless, MY MONTANA HOME comes recommended.
