The Ranch at Coyote Springs is a story about high school girl friends who reunite at a Montana guest ranch twenty years out of high school.

Gabrielle Watson, Olivia Papadakos, Kacie Kane and Bella James grew up friends in Beaumont, Texas in the 1970's. The intimate relationship formed in the first grade sustained them through life. The close friends celebrated big and small triumphs and supported each other through good times and in times of sorrow. Growing up in Beaumont was a memorable experience.

Gabrielle wanted to get married and have five kids after she graduated high school. Bella wanted to become a nurse or a doctor someday; and Olivia was thrilled to be Greek. She planned to visit Greece when she graduated high school. Sharing dark secrets, the girls understood each other's innermost fears and weaknesses, yet no one took advantage.

As teenagers they revealed crushes, relationships, arguments with parents, secret missions, hideouts, ideas about sex and crushes on boys. Telling their deep dark secrets became a test of true friendship. They vowed to forever be there for each other any time, any place... anywhere. As adults, they share similar uncertainties and feelings of emotional abandonment. Though all successful women they face heartache and situations they cannot overcome without relying on each other.
