Punch McMinn finds himself out of options and against the ropes!
No Good Deed Shall Go Unpunished!
When the West's good-hearted farm manager, Punch McMinn, stumbles upon Eugene Strom, a down-on-his-luck fighter threatening to jump from an old bridge, Punch takes him under his wing and convinces the patriarch of Westwood Thoroughbred Farm, Eric West, to give him a job. But when the gun-toting mob shows up at Westwood, its quite obvious that good ol' Eugene is hiding a secret--a big one.
Punch finds himself questioning his good intentions when Eugene puts the people he loves against the ropes and at the edge of disaster.

Against the Ropes
Feel like people you know. ~Donnabee
What can you say about the West family and their extended family, but they are starting to feel like your own. You can feel the familiar love that you get from being in a tight knit family jump off the page. Each recurring character is becoming like someone in your own life that you love or can't stand (Ava - the character I love to hate). This book centers around the family friend, Punch. Who couldn't like this guy? What a wonderful gentle giant with a heart of gold (that could easily get broken, you'll see). This book has a good main story with plenty of secondary drama filling each character's life (what the heck, Holden!). You're going to wonder about Eugene - is he just a guy down on his luck or really not so nice. I also love the details of each animal in the books too. If you live with a pet, you can easily identify with menagerie and all their quirks. Cindy's book leaves you wanting to know more.... more about the Wests, their lives, their loves, their animals, their friends... make the West family your friends too.
