Her characters are solid and there’s usually a funny aspect, like in Holidays on the Ranch there is a long-standing family feud happening in Burnt Boot, Texas that makes for some laugh out loud moments, but there’s also hope and found family and just all around feel good stuff.

A young woman, Callie finds herself needing to stay at Finn’s ranch as her nephew needs protective custody having witnessed a violent murder.
