description: The valley had changed a lot, but then so had Madison.
  Forked River Ranch, in the beautiful San Jacinta valley, in Southern California had been like a second home to Madison Foster as she was growing up. At age ten she and her parents moved abroad. Her happy summers at the ranch with her uncle James and aunt Carol came to an end. Letters and calls had kept her informed as to the goings on in the valley. Things were changing. New people were moving in. After graduation Madison's uncle and aunt invited her to come spend another summer at the ranch.
  Madison could use the break. She decided to go and see for herself what was happening in the valley. Would she be surprised at the changes that can take place in ten years? And was she the only one in for a surprise?
