A moving family drama during the 2008 recession is an interesting thing to read about. This family has always been able to get by and have nice things but their world collapses during this time period of strife but also because of what the parents boss did. 

Lisa inherits a ranch from an Uncle meanwhile and moves the family down to rural Texas where they will be tested as a family and as a couple. Her husband Michael rebels and kind of becomes this jerk to his family. 

My favorite character of all was their new ranch neighbor Carl. He was just so loving and kind and helpful. There are some ladies that become Lisa's friends that are great too.
