The Verde Sanctuary
By L.W. Samuelson
Seeking refuge from the police, an unusual suspect finds himself on a ranch in Northern Arizona. An old rancher takes him in and teaches him how to wrangle cattle. The refugee learns to break horses and gains notoriety as a horse whisperer. Soon the stranger and rancher develop a deeply abiding friendship. The old man and his wife come to depend on Travis as they age and become helpless. They devise a plan to deed their ranch to him until their daughter finds out. She allies herself with a wealthy land owner and together they try to prove the old rancher and his wife are incompetent and that Windy, the daughter, should be given power of attorney for her parents. As the battle ensues, the old couple's health deteriorates. Who will prevail in Travis's attempt to find sanctuary? Is blood thicker than water or do those who care for you constitute family? This story, at times poignant, at times humorous, explores family, ranch life, and a friendship between two people from different worlds.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF The Verde Sanctuary***
While running
from the law, Travis accidentally ends up at a ranch owned by Glenn and
Virginia. He never hid the fact that he was an alien. They didn’t seem to care.
It soon became apparent that the older couple needed Travis as much as he
needed them. As he becomes further integrated into this caring family, he
realizes that he has found his perfect sanctuary.
This was a fun, zany read. With a plot that takes
place on a ranch, it gave the story a bit of a western feel. A cowboy alien? It
was different and unexpected. I absolutely loved getting to know these quirky and
endearing characters, and their crazy lives. There were enough laugh out loud
moments to keep me begging for more. I will definitely continue this series.
