I have to agree with another reviewer it was very detailed, almost too much so, then it just ended.  It switched points of view from the husband to the wife, but it also went back and forth between the present and the past.  All this said, I still enjoyed the book.  I wish the ending had been more thorough or at least the next book in the series picked up where this one left off, but there is a huge gap in time.**Spoiler alert**Wade and Miriam are the main characters along with their 8 year old daughter Jess and her friend Evan.  Wade and Miriam have some very difficult things to overcome like a miscarriage, unexpected hysterectomy, financial problems with the ranch, along with keeping secrets from one another.  Miriam sinks into a deep depression for months after the miscarriage and hysterectomy.  During this time Wade is trying to do it all, run a ranch, keep up with their daughter, the bookkeeping for the ranch which he hates doing, all while trying to deal with his own grief over the loss of their son and any future children.  Then one day she snaps out of it, they argue, make up and then it ends.  Very abrupt ending after a very long almost drawn out book.Then it says to read the next book for a continuation of these characters.  The next book picks up with Jess grown, divorced, and she has a daughter that is her friend Evans....but he doesn't know it.  There at least a decade missing.  I would love to see the author do a novel between this one and the next one.  I felt like there were so many things that weren't resolved, but maybe it's in the next book as memories.
