Four O’Clock, Montana Time
Stewart Falls Cheerleaders Book 5
by Shannon Kennedy
Genre: YA Teen Drama
14-year-old, Samantha
Tiernan-Bradley and her soldier father always thought of each other
at four o’clock, Montana Time regardless of where the U.S. Army
assigned him. When they sent him to Afghanistan, he came back in a
flag-draped coffin.
It’s always been just the two of
them. Without him, Samantha feels all alone. Now, it’s four
o’clock, Montana Time and she’s thinking about Dad. Is he
thinking about her?
Then, she discovers her mother is
alive! She’s coming to take Samantha away from her grandparents and
a future in the fundamentalist, polygamous community that she and her
father considered to be their ‘real’ State-side home. Dad’s
plans for her included a Promise Ceremony and an arranged marriage
since she’s soon to graduate from eighth grade, but Mom’s arrival
changes everything.
Samantha’s had adventures before,
but nothing prepares her for Stewart Falls, Washington with her
mother, veterinarian, Dr. Cathy Tiernan. Academics for girls, movies,
cell phones, computers, clothes, jewelry, cheerleaders, and boys too
– just the whole culture….shock! What would Dad think?
How
is she going to cope with all this? And what will she do at four
o’clock, Montana Time?

Roaring Rory Gallatin’s
girl...
Daughter of the town trouble-maker...
Trailer trash
wannabe...
Seventeen-year-old Darcy Gallatin has heard it all,
especially when the local minister uses her father as a bad
example.
Everyone knows she’s different from the rest of
the Gallatin family. She earned a scholarship to prestigious Stewart
Falls Academy, is on the honor roll and is a varsity
cheerleader.
She has a dream nobody can steal. She’ll
study hard, attend a prominent university, and become a large-animal
veterinarian, specializing in horses. Then, she’ll return to the
small town of Pine Ridge and show everyone what a Gallatin can do.
This is her last year at home. Next December she’ll be away at
college, so she decides to make the holiday season special for her
ten-year-old brother. She won’t let her father ruin Christmas for
the whole family, not again.
Disaster strikes when her dad
injures Darcy’s horse, Whisky. Can Darcy ever forgive her father,
or has he finally crossed the line and made her hate him? Even Darcy
doesn’t know for sure, but one thing is certain—she needs to
change things. And fast. But how?
