The Fifth Daughter of Thorn RanchThe Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer Daily
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by this author, and I was absolutely blown away by the breathtaking scenery and the raw emotions and relatability of the characters. Not to mention, the cover is absolutely gorgeous and as a Latina woman, I LOVE to read about a Latina character.

This story is told from two points of view— Emma, the heir to the ranch in Texas, and Josie, Emma’s mom. We also learn a bit about their family history and the expectations of mothers to daughters over the years as the ranch is passed down each generation. Emma soon learns of a cave that leads to another world. As Emma is trapped in this world, Josie, still at the ranch, has no idea where her daughter disappeared to and as with any mother who’s child mysteriously disappears, worry begins to consumer her.

I was captivated by this story — wanting to know more about Emma’s experiences while also feeling for Josie. As I read, I felt such a connection to each character, which were so perfectly written. Highly recommend!
