Covering Love — Caryl McAdoo

Love may cover a multitude of sins, but not knowing all the facts can also get a man killed. A family calamity gathers the clan, then a dying request tests loyalties and changes lives. New York City's posh society, living on a rugged Texas hill country ranch, and the isolation of Alaska's frozen tundra share little commonality and make going from one to another difficult at best. Still, destiny drives Crockett and his sister Charlotte where neither wants to go or thinks they belong. Second and third generations of the Buckmeyer progeny encounter danger, challenges, heartaches, and joys. But then reunions are all the sweeter for it. This tale continues the breathtaking -- and sometimes heartbreaking -- family saga of the Buckmeyers, Baylors, and Nightingales that readers around the world have come to love.
