Synopsis
Libby Bateson was 17 and pregnant when her father kicked her off the farm. She never intended to go back. But now she and her daughter need a place to stay. So for the few months it’ll take to get her life together, she’ll ignore her father’s unremitting antagonism, ignore the small-town gossips counting back on their fingers, trying to figure out her daughter’s age. Whatever she has to do, Libby is determined that none of them will know the truth behind her little girl’s conception.
Especially not Gibson Browning. He lives next door and wants to be her friend, yet they both sense the feelings between them go way too deep for that. Gibson’s love of the land ties him to the farming community of Chatsworth, the one place Libby can never stay.
Not when the man she fears most still lives there...
Romantic Times - Pamela Cohen
C. J. Carmichael writes about forgiveness and starting over in a story rich in characters, friction and spirit.

November 11, 2000: In Yorkton, Saskatchewan, seventeen years old Libby Bateson drops out of school because she is three months pregnant. Her unsympathetic dad throws her off the family farm. Libby has never traveled anywhere except the immediate vicinity. Now the frightened and heartbroken, Libby takes the Greyhound bus to Toronto with no intention of ever returning home.
Eight years later, Libby?s daughter Nicole is having problems with second grade and trouble with older children in the neighborhood. Though Libby once vowed to never return home, she decides it is time to get her diploma. She knows she needs that in order to straighten out her own life. This will also allow her to provide her daughter with a temporary change that means four months on the farm with her father who insists she is dead. However, soon Libby has a bigger problem to face as she has fallen in love with old neighbor Gibson Browning, but he belongs in Yorkton while she being a pariah needs to live elsewhere.
A DAUGHTER?S PLACE is a wonderful contemporary romance that stars an intrepid heroine while providing an insider?s look at the Canadian side of the Great Plains. The story line is fun to read as Libby faces the condemnation of her father and most of the town with aplomb and courage, but fears her growing love for Gibson. Fans who enjoy a story that proves you can go home will want to read C.J. Carmichael?s latest novel.
