The Last Ride by Susan K. Marlow
It was with excitement that I welcomed the latest book from Susan K. Marlow in her popular Andrea Carter series! Although an adult, I find Susan's books quite interesting and -to my joy- wholesome. This combination is sadly lacking in current Christian fiction for any ages, so I highly recommend these books. Author Susan Marlow has developed the Andrea Carter series from the initial Circle C Beginnings books, to Circle C Adventures and now at Circle C Milestones. Any reader will find themselves interested in the family featured in these books, particularly horse-loving, spunky Andrea Carter! I personally love how each book, especially the latter few have dealt with key issues in growing up: forgiveness, pride, faith and more. In The Last Ride Andi (Andrea) is now a young lady of 16 and must learn to balance her childhood self with the woman she should be. She most importantly must learn to forgive, especially in a very difficult situation which you will only discover by reading this exciting book!
An important note: although part of a series, this book would also be great on its own! The author writes so clearly that it doesn't take much effort to understand the setting and characters!
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.
More about the book:
Andi's newest adventure may be more than she can handle--even with her family's help
Andrea Carter is turning sweet 16 and life could not be better. She's about to finish school, her sister Melinda is getting married, and her older brother Justin has a new baby to spoil. There will be plenty of time to work with the colt of her treasured palomino horse, Taffy, and best of all, Andi will finally get to work full-time for the ranch she loves.
There's just one problem: a city-slicker cousin named Daniel. Left there by his father, with a cryptic warning that New York City life has done damage to the young man's character, Daniel wants nothing to do with the ranch. He ignores Andi's lessons, walks away from responsibility, wrecks valuable equipment, and even runs away to San Francisco.
The Carter family is in a frenzy trying to keep Daniel under control. When Andi discovers a horrifying secret about him, he forces her to stay silent. But all that changes when Daniel's actions put lives in danger. Andi's anger over her loss threatens to destroy not only Andi but her entire Circle C world. Can anyone break through the wall around Andi's bitter heart and help her find healing?
