Momma died before the bluebonnets faded. Losing my mother to Alzheimer's did not bring the relief I'd expected. Dr. Benjamin Ellis assures me that feeling lost is natural. That I'll eventually find my footing. He's a good friend. A very good friend. But the truth is, Momma's passing has put an end to my reason for staying in Texas. Especially now that an opportunity to chase an old dream has arisen.

I never expected to be so torn between what I thought I wanted and the ranch I haven't called home in years.

Brimming with wit, authenticity, and southern charm, FIRST FROST explores the inspirational and emotional healing of a family shattered by tragedy.

You'll have to laugh to keep from crying.
