Most battles are fought for power. This one is fought for love.
For fifty years, Owen and Lillian have built something rare—a farm sanctuary where the abused and abandoned find safety, grace, and second chances. But now an industrial livestock complex—the kind that chokes waterways and treats suffering as the cost of doing business—has set its sights on the land surrounding their safe haven. Everything they’ve spent a lifetime building could wither in its shadow.
For two years, Jack has thrown himself into his work as a veterinarian at the sanctuary, haunted by a past he’s desperate to outrun. Then Brie arrives, and something he’s kept buried begins to surface. She eases into the rhythms of the sanctuary as if she’s always belonged there—as though the animals know something about her that even she cannot explain. And along the way, it’s the animals who draw her and Jack together.
