Three Sisters Rescue Farm: Book 2
Publication Date: May 26, 2026
In Big Sky Country,
Sometimes forgiveness takes the most courage…
For her son’s sake, widowed veterinarian Vicky Siden works hard to pretend all is well. But the arrival of game warden Nick Youngston at her family’s animal rescue—with a horse and donkey in tow—changes everything. With three-year-old Taylor eager to help Nick rehab Buddy and Dunk, Vicky can’t avoid her late husband’s best friend, who she’s always blamed for his death. Nor can Nick avoid the real reason he’s in town. As old wounds resurface and feelings spark to life, facing the truth could keep them apart—or lead to an unexpected second opportunity at love.
From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.
Book 1: A Montana-Sized Secret
Book 2: A Refuge in Montana
Set in Big Sky Country, A Refuge in Montana is the second book in Allie Pleiter’s Three Sisters Rescue Farm series.
Buddy, a horse, and Dunk, a donkey, are rescues brought to the farm by Nick, who has a strained history with the local vet, Vicky. Her mother and two aunts run the farm, so Nick and Vicky’s paths are sure to cross, much to her dismay. Plus, it’s a small town, and run-ins are to be expected. The town is full of gossipers, and nothing goes unnoticed. Vicky’s young son, Taylor, adds another layer to the story. The pet parade fundraiser is to raise funds for their care.
I wouldn’t consider this book a standalone, as I felt I was at a disadvantage for not having read the first book, since the relationships were established. I don’t know the full backstory of most of the characters, just the bits and pieces mentioned throughout.
There are second chances for the animals rescued and brought to the farm, as well as for some of their human counterparts. There are some surprises along the way, as well as prayers and reflections. The epilogue gave closure, but it would have been nice if it had gone on a little longer.
A Refuge in Montana is filled with second chances, unexpected romance, love, and healing.
