The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer Daily – Review by Tracy Greenhalgh

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

This is my first book from this author and wow, what an amazing picture is drawn by her words.
In this book we follow Emma, the only child of matriarch and land owner Josie Rosales, as the 5th generation of first and only born daughter in the family, the largest ranch in Texas passes from mother to daughter.
After moving away to college Emma returns home, and whilst her parents go to Europe she goes camping. And it is over a year before anyone sees her again.
Where has Emma been, with absolutely no sign of her or others, who is Kai, and why does Emma feel tied to him?
What a wonderfully written book, full of intrigue and a world that is well described. Involving the modern world, head strong educated women; people that live by completely different rules as if from a time gone by.
I would thoroughly enjoy a second book that takes us through the following years, The Thorn, The Land and The People.
