The Life We Choose

Decisions and destiny in lush Northeast Texas…Everyone knew the Murdocks of Murdock Mains were a fractured family, so when life circumstances reunites them along the banks of the Sulphur River in Northeast Texas, it’s not a question of when drama will erupt; rather, what the toll will be. With a special needs son, independent daughter Maren bore enough responsibility even before being pressured by elder brother Price to help him deal with their angry, embittered father. Cap has suffered a bad accident, which uncovers another health issue that will force him to be forever reliant on the very offspring he abused and rejected. Price, however, isn’t quite the heroic, big brother Maren once adored. Fed up with being treated like less than a ranch hand, he struck out on his own. As a result, the siblings’ happy reunion is showing cracks, as some of Price’s tactics and choices could expose decisions that aren’t as ethical as they should be. Maren finds unexpected help in Dr. Gabriel Cabrera, the area veterinarian, whose failed marriage to his lifelong friend and sweetheart has left him lonely, but too cautious to do much about it. Until he realizes that he and Maren’s paths had crossed before-at another life-altering moment. Decisions and destiny vibrate through this lush and dramatic story of loss, loneliness, and love’s triumph through faith.
