Always and Forever — Rebecca Templeman

Welcome to Hamilton Hill where Anne Carter Thomas is the new Innkeeper. Set in just seven days, Volume 2 drops into Carrington again with the lasting nuances of lifelong friendship. SEVEN DAYS IN CARRINGTON, Volume 2 -- Always and Forever continues the heartfelt endearment in this fast-paced sequel. Buckle up as current events unfold in the unknowing, all-trusting sanctuary of Hamilton County, Virginia. Follow the EB-5 Visa program when a wealthy Moroccan reinvents the Lazy T Farm into a Thoroughbred stable. But beware of his struggle to adapt when the quest for power and influence threatens his American dreams. Feel the tension in the undercurrent drug Cartel. And homegrown terrorism becomes the proving ground on the precarious pathway to citizenship. Fueled by imminent dangers with lasting political repercussions, the genteel Southern traditions clash with new cultures, in real time, and as East meets West. Like watching the daily news but with a whimsical fancy, Templeman paints a dynamic portrait of immigration and the prejudices inherent in present-day assimilation struggles. Yet, bonded in the will to triumph over tragedy, a rich human diversity passes through the revolving doors of compassion and love -- always and forever in Carrington.
