Circle C Milestones

Andi, Riley, and baby make three! Welcoming their first child, Jared Riley Prescott, is this young couple’s biggest adventure yet. But having a baby by her side doesn’t slow Andi down. When Riley takes his young wife and toddler back to his secret spot in the hills, Andi is all for it. She and baby Jared head straight into the glade—and find a startling surprise. From pony problems to unexpected injuries to a specter from the past invading their home, this young family never experiences a dull moment. With danger, drama, and a solid foundation of faith and fun, this collection of stories is full of everything Andi’s fan love.

Andrea Carter, frontier heroine, is back! Only she’s Andrea Prescott now, married to her sweetheart, Riley, and they are starting their lives together on their own Memory Creek ranch. If you thought her adventures would stop when she found her happily ever after, you don’t know Andi! From their honeymoon in Yosemite—and a holdup that happens on the way—to the far corners of their new home, the couple’s first year of marriage is full of excitement. They battle storms, explore the high Sierra and tussle with a mountain lion, all before tackling the biggest adventure they’ve ever faced.

Life is terrific for Andrea Carter. The only thing she loves more than helping run the Circle C is racing and stunt-riding on her colt, Shasta, with Riley Prescott’s help. When she and Riley stumble onto a cut in the fence around her brother’s prize calves, things go from mysterious to dangerous. A cryptic warning tied around a rock crashes through the window at a family party. Then cattle begin to die. When the horse barn catches fire, Andi and her family wonder who is trying to hurt her family—and why? Evidence points to criminals from her brother Justin’s past, but knowing who is responsible does little to keep everyone out of danger. Now Riley is Andi’s only hope of rescue. Can he find her before she disappears from the Circle C forever?

Andrea Carter is turning sixteen, and life could not better. School is nearly over for good, leaving her plenty of time to train the colt of her beloved horse, Taffy. Best of all, Chad is giving Andi more responsibility on the ranch. But when Andi is given the task of teaching their city-slicker cousin, Daniel, how to rope and ride, conflict arises. Daniel wants nothing to do with ranch life. He defies authority and proves a danger to everyone, including himself. When Andi stumbles onto a horrifying secret about Daniel, he warns her to keep silent . . . or else. But all bets are off when Daniel’s action set off a chain of events that leave Andi broken-hearted and bitter. Can anyone break through the wall around Andi’s heart and help her find healing?

Andrea Carter knows she can ride, rope, and cut out cattle with the best of her brothers’ cowhands. And now—despite her mother’s concerns—she wants to test her skills. Using newspaper clippings about spirited women who bucked society’s expectations, she finally convinces her family to let her go along on a two-week cattle drive to Los Angeles—but only as Cook’s helper. Andi quickly discovers that her longed-for adventure is not a holiday. It’s a dirty, dangerous business made up of late nights, balky cattle, and an abrasive cowhand trying to win her attention. But Andi grimly determines to stick it out. Then a river crossing goes wrong, and everything changes. It’s Andi’s big chance to really pitch in and help her brothers get their cattle to market—any way she can.

Fourteen-year-old Andrea Carter would rather ride her palomino, Taffy, than do anything else. But life on the Circle C ranch in 1882 is busy. Between school and chores, Andi is left with little time to prepare for Taffy’s first foaling. Then when the event finally arrives, it nearly ends in disaster. Returning to school keeps Andi hard-pressed to find time for foal training. And she now has a new problem on her hands--Macy Walker, who has been assigned as Andi’s seatmate. The girl’s crude manners and behavior bring storm clouds into Andi’s life, as does the news that cattle rustlers have moved into the valley. When the cattle rustlers turn to stealing horses and strike the Carter ranch, Andi’s only hope for recovering her precious colts lies with Macy. Can Andi trust this wild girl? Does she have a choice?
