Tanya Brown

Tanya's life was forever changed at her mother's funeral. Amidst the tears and condolences, a mysterious letter slipped into her hand. She didn't see who gave it to her, but the words seared themselves into her mind: "It's time you knew who your father was..." The words echoed in her mind, fueling a mix of emotions. Her mother had always been tight-lipped about her father's identity, and now, it seemed, the truth was within reach. The trail led her to the Black Hills of South Dakota, where her father grew up. As she drove through the rolling hills and vast prairies, Tanya felt a sense of connection to the land. She had always felt like a part of her was missing; now, she hoped to find it. In the charming town of Hill City, Tanya stumbled upon the Splitting Lumber, a popular BBQ joint with a playful lumberjack theme. The waitresses wore red flannel shirts tied above the navel and denim short shorts, a look that was equal parts rustic and sassy. On a whim, Tanya applied for a job and was hired on the spot. As she donned the signature uniform, Tanya felt a transformation taking place. She was no longer just a city girl searching for answers; she was a small-town waitress with a purpose. The regulars at Splitting Lumber welcomed her with open arms, and Tanya found herself swept up in their stories and laughter. There was Enemene, a vibrant Cheyenne woman and fellow waitress who’s charismatic demeanor made her Tanya's partner in crime and confidant. Vanessa, a bubbly waitress eager to hear about Tanya's big-city adventures, who’s curiosity often led to hilarious conversations. Then there’s Rhett, the ruggedly handsome cook, with a passion for BBQ and a soft spot for strays. Recently Tanya heard of Rhett’s background as a former lumberjack, and thinks he might be able to help her search for answers.
