Book Review: End of the Trail by Vickie McDonough

Brooks Morgan is tired of being used by his parents. All they ever expect him to do is hard work. Brooks’ father wants him to take over his ranch when he grows up, but Brooks has other ideas. Ten years later, estranged from his family and drifting from town to town, all Brooks wants is a permanent home. He wanders into a new town and ends up the proud owner of a cattle ranch! But Brooks soon realizes that he is getting more than he bargained for: enemies, responsibilities, hard work… and a complicated relationship with Keri, the niece of the ranch’s former owner!

This book is the story of a prodigal who finally finds the path he needs to be on. Ten years of drifting put Brooks in a position to finally humble himself enough to learn to be responsible. Through their conflicted interactions, both Brooks and Keri learn to reconcile with family members and rebuild their relationships with God. It is a sweet story, and part of a series about the Morgan family. I did not read the other books in the series, but this one does stand alone without background information being necessary.

Overall I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to readers of fiction. It did not take very long to read and, of course, comes with a happy ending.
