The Man and His Family Adam First and his family have been running the Number One Ranch in West Texas for generations. But now his daughter, driven by spite and revenge, has sold controlling interest to the local bank. The Woman with Their Fate in Her Hands Sheila Malone, a consultant for the bank, has to determine if Adam is managing the ranch properly and whether he should continue to oversee its operations. The Choices They Have to Make Adam can stay on - but only if he agrees to Sheila's recommendations. That's asking a lot. Adam is as inflexible as Sheila is strong-willed. And the heat between them isn't just from their disagreements about the destiny of the ranch.
