Refuge at Rattling Forks Ranch
A Silent Voices Novel • A Third-Generation Story
By Polly Mae Cashin
Maybe you don’t have to solve your whole life tonight.
Olivia Grace knows how to keep going. When something goes wrong, she finds something to do about it. But when a winter storm leaves her injured and stranded, the next step is beyond anything she can manage on her own.
An unexpected offer of shelter brings her to Rattling Forks Ranch. There, Benjamin gives her something she scarcely knows how to receive: room to be unfinished. Over a meal, an honest conversation, and laughter neither expected, Olivia begins to wonder whether the life exhausting her is the only life available.
Benjamin has questions of his own. Offering someone a place to rest comes more easily than allowing joy to return to the places grief has left quiet. As they begin to know each other, both encounter the possibility of a future they cannot yet see clearly.
Refuge at Rattling Forks Ranch is a story about finding shelter—and discovering what might become possible when you no longer have to hold everything together. Sometimes a new beginning arrives before you know what to do with it. Sometimes, for tonight, an open door is enough.
