MONTANA by Debbie Macomber

Having lived in Colorado, I looked forward to reading a book about the wide open spaces and mountains and ranches of Montana.  Here you will come to know Molly Cogan  and her sons Tom and Clay as they arrive at her grandfather Walt Wheaton's ranch.  His foreman Sam Dakota had called to tell her that her grandfathers health was declining.  Will the boys adjust to life in a very small rural town in Montana after living in California?

Couple of times this book seemed to skip ahead and I found myself checking the page number to be sure I hadn't turned to many pages.  Other than that I enjoyed the story.
