She heads to the peaceful Bluebird Ranch, nestled deep in Texas hill country, and to the only person who can help them.

Summary
Overall Lonestar Santuary is book one in a series revolving around the horse ranch. Although the ranch for abused or neglected horses being an camp for abused/neglected children took a back seat to the main story line. I found the main character to be severely overprotective of her daughter, to the point I could not even like her. Her daughter Betsy was the best character in the book. There were a couple scenes that hinted at her having a special ability with animals. This story line did not
develop as I expected. Maybe it will be revisited in the other books in the series. I think you will guess the killer but maybe not the reasoning behind it. The story had lots of action and deaths. Several new tidbits from their past are revealed throughout the story The writing flows quite nicely and it is an easy read.
Violence There are several deaths in the story. It is not disturbing.
