OMG, they need restraining orders against that man---the courts certainly didn't take assault and battery too seriously, against a woman no less---and if they have a real restraining order--it could cost him big time to make any violations.
I don't know that Lizzie should be all alone at the ranch even with patrols.
With ennis and Marianne gone.
I am so glad Ennis is going to go to jack, this is such a tough one, and Jack's dad is being a real pig head. He is going to have to face up to some harsh realities soon. they could always rent out the land, and he could just collect the rent and come once in awhile to inspect the pasture conditions. Happens all the time.
Now I really want to know more of Marianne's story and how she learned to defend herself so well and not take any crap from bullies!! Very curious now.
