Sweetwater Creek Book

This is a southern coming of age story. It had all the potholes this type of book needs....alcohol, neglect, abandonment, abuse, being misunderstood, the help with shoulders to cry on and so on. Emily was a young girl trying to find her place in a man's world until a socialite comes to live in the barn.

Overall, I liked this, but I feel I've read it all before. I did like the element of breeding dogs though. That was new. So 3 stars.
