I liked this story immensely.
I really enjoyed in getting to know Lisa and her family members a lot.
My heart went out to Lisa but yet at the same time I found myself rooting for her too.
What an amazing woman! Yes, she made mistakes along the way but don't we all?
I simply couldn't put this book down it was so good. I was all in from the beginning until the end.
Wonderful captivating characters with a cool storyline.
5 stars for this new to me author that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I highly recommend.
My thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

An easy read of a family saga of riches to rags then maybe back to riches again. Seemed rather an unlikely plot but nevertheless I wouldn’t say I didn’t want to find out how all the family faired.

I was completely reeled into “Tough Trail Home” by Marie W. Watts from the first chapter and finished the book in just a day. The Dunwhitty family suffers a huge blow during the aftermath of the tanked economy in 2008. They are used to being big spenders, so when Michael is offered a high-paying job, they are relieved that their extravagant lifestyle can continue, albeit in a different city. However, that job falls through, and the family seems to have lost everything. There is just one ray of hope—Lisa suddenly inherits a 4000-acre ranch in Texas from an uncle she hadn’t seen since she was a child. As Lisa struggles to try to make a go of what turns out to be a huge money pit, her relationship with her husband suffers and her children experience a real life-style culture shock. Will they be able to not only overcome these difficulties and make a success of their new lives?
This is a wonderful story about resilience and resourcefulness, and I found myself rooting for Lisa from page one. Many thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.
