When outlaws turn from rustling Circle C cattle to stealing horses, Andi forges an unlikely bond with an unpleasant classmate because she believes Macy may hold the key to recovering Taffy’s missing foals.
A real cattle drive is a far cry from what Andi envisions when she receives permission to accompany her brothers on the trail. Can she survive hard work, lack of sleep, danger, and an obnoxious cowhand trying to win her attention?
City cousin Daniel Carter is sent west to the Circle C ranch in hopes that hard work will change his delinquent behavior. Instead, the young man endangers both Andi’s life and the life of her mare, Taffy. Is forgiveness even possible?
A series of unexplained attacks against the Circle C ranch forces Andi and her family into the realization that escaped prisoners have revenge on their minds and intend to make the Carter family pay for past wrongs.
15 stories follow Andi and Riley as they start their life together on Memory Creek ranch, not too far from the Circle C. They battle storms, explore the high country, and confront a mountain lion, all before tackling the biggest adventure they’ve ever faced.
15 stories continue the adventures as baby Jared joins the family. And that’s just the beginning! From pony problems to life-threatening injuries to a stranger’s intrusion into their lives, this young family is anything but boring.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For girls 14-18 that are looking for a great series set back in the late 1800s that involve horses, you’ll want to pick up Thick as Thieves, the first book in the Circle C Milestones Series, from Susan K.
