Charlene's Daughter — Martin Brant

Not everyone that enjoys nudity considers themselves a nudist. They aren't members of nudist associations and they don't go to nudist resorts. They simply like feeling the fresh air and sunshine on their skin. They like the sense of freedom they have being unencumbered with clothes. They know a person can experience the natural elements around them with his or her entire body. They also know the human body isn't shameful or lewd. The love of being nude comes naturally for some, for others it's something they have to learn, as is the case for a certain middle-age rancher.
Tom inherited the small New Mexico ranch from his parents. He scratches a living from the pecan grove and raising a few cattle. He has lived alone on the ranch since his parents died and has grown quite content with his life.
On a warm summer day when Tom is out by the barn repairing a fence, Charlene and her daughter unexpectedly show up in a battered pickup truck. Watching his sister step out of the truck he can see by the way she is dressed that she hasn't changed. Too much makeup, jeans too tight for a woman her age, too many futile trips around the block. Tom soon learns she has come home to stay, at least until some trucker or other miscreant comes along and tempts her to run off with him.
When Charlene's daughter, Celia, finally decides to get out of the truck, he sees a carbon copy of her mother at that age. He sees a young rebel, a girl even prettier than her mother, a challenge in need of a father's attention that she never had. What he didn't see was the trouble the two women had left behind, or the way his niece will turn the life he has always known upside down.
