About the Book

"Writing good gripping fiction is pure talent, but writing good fiction based on historical fact requires endless research * that Pryce has woven it all together in such a fascinating manner is true art." Jim Rheaume

Readers of the Skaha series are set to be highly rewarded in Skaha Ranch, the third and final volume in Elizabeth Pryce's trilogy. Set in the southern Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, the series marks the lives of an ambitious settler, an unyielding entrepreneur and the families that supported their endeavours through the 19th and 20th centuries.

In Skaha Ranch, the future of the ranch is in questions as Llewellyn's only son runs from both family and responsibility; Thomas is not interested in taking the helm of a venture that brought him misery in his childhood. There is some hope in the start of the tourism industry in the valley, and the arrival of an unlikely character lends promise of better days to come. Skaha Ranch is a coming of age tale for both is characters and the valley in which the novel is set. Pryce's genuine love for her home and community is reflected in the dynamic adventures of the McAllister and Llewellyn families.
