Battle for the Soul of the Prairie
In this modern “David vs Goliath” story, Dede Hume is thrust into the decades-old battle for grasslands in the wide-open spaces of Montana.
When her dad is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and her parents take early retirement, Dede and her younger brother are left in charge of their ranch. She’s plunged into a dilemma beyond her wildest imagination—a struggle to save the family legacy.
Managing a financially viable ranch is hard enough without having to battle the huge wildlife preserve organization buying up the land around her. Their agenda: reintroduce species to the prairie that will end the way of life for ranchers. Joining forces with her neighbors, she helps fight to maintain the family-owned businesses that have fed the nation for generations.
But will a new friendship expose her plans to the organization and set her on a course to lose everything her parents built? How can one young woman make a difference before the ranch is wrenched from her forever?
