Wild Rose Laurel June Thompson

The McAlister family story continues with Wild Rose, a sequel to Born for Adversity. McAlister Grange comes to life once more when Rose McAlister, a successful equine veterinarian in Southeastern Pennsylvania, makes a surprising discovery, awakening a new desire to delve into her past through a secret, hidden journal penned by her ancestor over a century before. Wild Rose explores Rose's journey through the past, while taking some startling and sometimes dangerous turns in her present and future as well. Romance, adventure, heartbreak, sacrifice, and even a mysterious crossover into the Otherworld make for a dynamic and thrilling read, all leading to an epiphany of faith and understanding of what family truly means. Peek around the corner of time to reach into the lives of generations past, finding that those who have gone before are so much more than a dash between two dates on a gravestone. See how each generation helps to shape the next, both for good and ill, by every decision made, no matter how insignificant a choice it may seem at the time. Decide if fate or free will is the driving force in life, carving one's family tree through the centuries into a thriving, towering elm or a stump of deadwood, only good for the fire. See how the families McAlister, O'Donnell, Riley, Campbell, DuBois, Reardon, and Livingston interact and intertwine to culminate in a God-ordained destiny for those who choose to follow His leading-for if one is open to divine guidance, there will be signs; only seek, and ye shall find.
