The heart's reward

Rani's love had strength -- what it needed was wisdom It was unlikely that Noah's Ark had contained a better menagerie than that which brayed, barked and roared on Scott Barnett's ranch in Oregon. Rani found the ranch an exciting place to work and Scott an exciting man to work for, but she balked at Scott's suggestion that she and her three-year-old son, Dean, live there. For Dean did not mix well with assorted camels, llamas and cougars. And while Scott's teenaged son clearly enjoyed his duties as babysitter, Rani did not believe that he, or anyone else for that matter, could provide the constant attention and gentle care that Dean so badly needed!
