About this listen

Secrets hiding on the tundra . . .

In the dawning of summer, the rugged landscape of rural Alaska sets the stage for a tale of determination and dark secrets. Headstrong Bunny O'Kelly arrives on the sprawling expanses of Buck Miller's horse ranch with the fiery ambition to make a name for herself. Against the backdrop of wild horses and unchecked wilderness, she embarks on a grueling journey to prove her worth, not just as a ranch hand, but as a woman in a world that doesn't want her.

But when Bunny stumbles upon the shattered remnants of Katie Miller's life, the ranch transforms into a web of lies. Katie's fatal accident, long unexamined, whispers of hidden truths and cloaked motives. As Bunny delves deeper, she uncovers a sinister layer to the tragedy and finds herself caught in a dangerous game where her quest for justice could unravel the very fabric of her newfound haven . . . yet silence could enshrine a killers freedom.

Releasing the Reins spurs you to unravel its mysteries. Can Bunny OKell'y expose the truth when trust shatters and daylight reveals the deadliest secrets?

Critic Reviews

"It takes writing chops to create a women's fiction/mystery/modern western mash-up like Releasing the Reins, but author Catherine Matthews does it seamlessly. Set in the wild expanses of Alaska farmland, this debut novel honors the majestic landscape, explores the power of the human/animal connection, and exposes the destructive force of family secrets. Bunny OKell'y is an intriguing protagonist: smart-witted, strong, stubborn, and a little lost. Her journey to unravel a hidden truth is also a hard path of self-discovery—readers will love her, fear for her, and root for her to find the answers she desperately needs. An up-all-night page-turner." Carla Damron, award-winning author of Justice be Done, The Orchid Tattoo, The Stone Necklace
