The Secrets She Keeps by Deb Caletti is a novel based on the divorce ranches that existed in Nevada in the 50's. Women would come and stay for six weeks to get residency, then legally get a divorce. The atmosphere was often like a big party, with cocktails and dancing and city women falling for cowboys, there were Hollywood stars who came and of course a lot of heartbreak.
Caletti moves back and forth from present day to the Summer of 1951 when something happened at Tamarosa Ranch that has been kept secret all these years. Although somewhat predictable, it's a good story and a good read. I could almost feel the wild Mustangs running by!
