A Season of Family

Common Threads in the Life Book 6

By the time the new millenium dawns, Tom and Joel Allen-Reece have been together for thirty-five years.

Their daughter Shara is now twenty-eight years old and, following the near fatal shoting of both her fathers just four months earlier, she has decided to move back to the Common, New Mexico, to be with them. She practically has to give up her potential writing career, and her fathers worry about what esle she might be sacrificing by moving back home; she worries about them. But what none of them can possibly know is what is in store for their family. It will truly be a season of change.

Claude Riggs is a wealthy and powerful oil man in North Dakota, and he makes a whirlwind trip home to Minot to handle a situation he finds distasteful—disowning his only son and banishing him to a remote ranch across the width of the United States, as close to the US/Mexico border as he can send him. There, sixteen-year-old Kelvin Riggs must make his own way and either survive or fail. What is in store for Kelvin is something he could never have imagined—a season among the Reece family and their newest addition of a teen runaway named Jared Rory.
