Family life centers around the grandparents' ranch in California. Each one, grandparents included, come in and out of the story, each with their own challenges. Included in the story is Skylar, who shows up at the ranch from nowhere. This is a sort of "This Is Us" story. They are a loving, supportive family, but each one has a personal struggle. I think I liked the story because it is real. There were no larger-than-life characters, just real people.
