The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer Daily
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a story that is packed with adventure and twists and turns that keeps the reader gripped and reading more. I read this book in 1 sitting as I refused to put it down.
This is a beautiful story which many elements including danger, Romance, and a choice which could change the entire direction of Emma’s life.
The story is told from two points of view that of Emma and her mother Josie.

Emma and her family live on Thorn Ranch. It is a huge place and is passed down from mother to daughter. The next in line to own the ranch is Emma. However, Emma doesn’t feel ready to take over the ranch all she wants is to be a vet, but she knows she can’t stop what is destined to happen.

When she decides to go and look at the area of the ranch not so well travelled she stumbles across a group of people living on the ranch in secret. How does no one in her family know that these people are here. Now she is stuck between what to do. Does she help these people she has just found or does she remain loyal to her family and her destiny?

Emma is a strong willed and determined young women. This story flows so nicely and leaves the reader guessing which way she will choose. The switch between Emma of today and Emma with the tribe is interesting to see and you are always thinking how will her actions and decisions made when she’s with the tribe effect her life and the ranch.
