Ashes of Dreams
Ruth Ryan Langan

In 1890's Kentucky Bluegrass country, Amanda Jeffrey, a young widow with three small sons and an ailing father-in-law, struggles to maintain a horse farm, on a piece of land that was the dream of her late husband. When a quiet Irish immigrant comes along, bringing with him a child of thirteen, they are offered shelter in return for work.

Colin Donnelly, with his smooth brogue and dark, handsome looks, is a man of few words. But if soulful eyes could speak, his would tell a tale of love lost and dreams burned by the cruelty of life.

While these two people work against incredible odds to save Amanda's farm, they must also fight a growing attraction that threatens to tear two families apart. Can love grow from the ashes?
