Living on the D, the cattle ranch started by her ancestors in the 1880s, she has almost all she could ever want. Her only cause for discontent is her mother, Ursula, who seems determined to make her life miserable.</p><p>Once she graduates from high school everything changes. There is no longer a place for her on the ranch. Traditionally girls marry and leave to begin new lives elsewhere. It doesnt matter that she is the only Daly child who wants to continue the ranching tradition. There is only one way she can see to keep ranching and that includes a trip to California to find the person she thinks can save her.</p><p>It is 1968, the height of the hippy movement and when she arrives, she finds herself in the middle of the revolution, surrounded by young people protesting the societal structures she wishes to preserve. The experience changes her life, not only because of the radical thinking she is exposed to, but also because of one particular man she meets.</p><p>Will Daniels follows her to Montana. She doesnt want the hippy around as shes afraid hell get in the way. Plus, she doesnt think he will ever fit into her rural lifestyle. She finally gives in to his persistent attention, but continuously reminds herself that he is simply a diversion until her plan comes together.</p><p>When tragedy, caused by the lies her parents have been living, tears the Daly family apart, Sky is forced to leave the D and she flees Montana. She moves around from one job to the next, trying to find a new life for herself, but is continuously disappointed as she realizes that being a woman doesnt give her the same opportunity a man would have. Eventually she forgets about not only her former life, but her dreams as well and settles into a life without expectation or hope.</p><p>While waiting tables down in New Mexico, she receives news of a murder that once again turns her life upside down. Returning to Montana, she takes over the ranch, but instead of the idyllic situation she envisioned, the survival of the D is threatened.</p><p>While she and Will are researching her great grandfathers life, she finds out that, although under different circumstances, he was also forced off the D and out of Montana. She discovers the lengths he went to in defending the D. Back in his day, it was cattle rustlers and others attempting to destroy his livelihood and take his land.</p><p>The threats Sky faces are different but just as deadly. She realizes that, like her great grandfather, she will do whatever it takes to save the family ranch. Whatever it takes.</p>...(*_*)9780985127923_<p>Its 1968, a time of social upheaval. Eighteen year-old Sky Daly travels from her familys ranch in Montana to Berkely, California in a desperate attempt find the one person she thinks can secure her future. Once there, her conservative upbringing collides with the radical and liberal lifestyle of the hippy movement.</p><p>She finds herself amid protests as young people demand the right to greater freedoms. She is exposed to the Womens Liberation Movement and meets women fighting for equal rights in the workplace. This goes against the lifestyle she knows, as the tradition shes always accepted is that the oldest son will inherit the family ranch, and that a womens place is as a wife, limited to raising children and running the household, things she is determined to avoid.</p><p>Unsuccessful in her quest to bring home the man she loves, she returns to The D Rocking D, the ranch homesteaded by her great great grandfather.</p><p>Will Daniels, a college student she meets in California, follows her in the hope of a summer job working on the ranch. He wants to be with her, but she cant imagine sharing her life with a liberal pacifist.</p><p>As her family falls apart, the five generation legacy of the ranch is threatened. Her brothers and sisters are intent on escaping the rural lifestyle to pursue lives outside of ranching, and her parents seem to find life on The D more and more distasteful as well. She, however, wants nothing more than to continue on.</p><p>Ursula, her mother, seems determined to ruin her life. The mother and daughter are continually at odds and she finally tells her daughter there is no longer a place for her on the ranch. Sky is forced to leave The D and leaves Montana as well.</p><p>Everywhere she goes, it seems that, as a girl, she is considered inferior and realizes the truth in the words of the women in Berkely about inequality in the work place. Being female is a disadvantage, especially in the male-dominated ranching lifestyle.</p><p>Years later, she returns to Montana to find the ranch in ruins and there seems to be no way to save it. Selling out appears the only option. She desperately tries to keep it going, but between bankruptcy and the lack of support from her family, the odds are against her.</p><p>The threats she faces are different from the range wars and lawlessness her ancestors faced, but they are just as dangerous. In her determination to save her childhood home, she is forced to accept that The D cannot continue in the same tradition. Change is needed and she challenges her own beliefs as she struggles to restore the family ranch.</p><p>Through it all, Will supports her, often from afar, as she still cant see herself with a man whose interest in her has nothing to do with ranching.</p><p>But, with his help, she learns more about her ancestry. Long-buried family secrets are revealed, including the dark past of her great grandfather, Matt Daly, a man she idolizes.</p><p>When she finds herself pregnant, her worst fears are realized. That, along with The Ds financial problems, seem to ensure failure. She worries not only about her ability to succeed, but also fears that Will will desert her, as he doesnt want a child tying him down any more than she does.</p><p>Even before the child is born, mysterious things begin to happen on the ranch. Its obvious someone wants to jeopardize her success. The intimidation accelerates after she gives birth, but her determination to succeed grows stronger now that she has has a baby to protect.</p><p>The situation comes to a head when Rad Johnson, her mothers ex-boyfriend, attempts to gain control of the ranch and she must prove her resolve as she resorts to a desperate measure to save it. She devises a plan to end the threat and secure the continuation of The D. She realizes, that like her ancestors, she will stop at nothing to save her home, the ranch she loves.</p>...9780985127923_Susan Spencelibro_electonico_42c0735d-9075-32ca-bb6a-174e644b0415_9780985127923;9780985127923_9780985127923Susan SpenceInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/smashwords-epub-c855cd76-dabf-4d25-9856-ac8864434573.epub2013-04-14T00:00:00+00:00Susan Spence
