Sonny is raised in a white trash family on the wrong side of town. His buddy, Aubrey, has an even worse reputation for hell raising. Both of their lives would have ended badly had they not been invited to work on the biggest ranch in the county. The prize, marriage to the sickly ranch owner’s daughter, Missy. The prize turns into a competition where friends become enemies. During a drunken beige, Beau, the man Sonny calls his father, murders Sonny’s mother and is sent away. It is a tragedy that marks the biggest change in the young cowboy’s life. When Beau is released, revenge becomes all consuming for Sonny. He convinces Aubrey to help him. The two connive to do the old drunk in, but the old sot outfoxes the young cowboys, forcing Sonny to provide him a job on the Forest Ranch. The old man suffers a dehumanizing accident, and witnessing the suffering, Sonny has a change of heart concluding fate has punished Beau and set him free. Freedom from his obsession for revenge allows him to put all his energy into winning the hand of the boss’ daughter, Missy. This becomes a fierce competition with Aubrey. After all, a cowboy dreams of owning the land on which he works. That dream can only come true if he marries into the family. The competition between the two cowboys for Missy’s frail hand is filled with amusing shenanigans as well as tragic consequences. The novel is filled with rich characters scratching out a living on the vast empty ranch land of Central California. Where there is little to go around, cowboys turn to thieving, drinking, womanizing and rabble rousing. But there are consequences to such a hard life, death, accidents and heartache. Silver linings do exist once in a blue moon. Which of the two handsome cowboys have a silver lining in their future? It belongs to only one of them.

The House of Bair tells the story of one of the most remarkable families of the early 20th century. The Bairs built a dynasty in the small ranching community of Martinsdale, Montana. They left behind a legacy of philanthropy---and, displayed in their ranch house, a vast and invaluable collection of American and European art and antiques. The Bairs left their home as a museum to the people of Montana---a seemingly simple request that ultimately divided friends, sparked numerous lawsuits, and made national headlines. Rostad details the fight of the community to save the ranch museum and uphold the wishes of these beloved and colorful figures in Montana's history.

The triumphant true story of the native Hawaiian cowboys who crossed the Pacific to shock America at the 1908 world rodeo championships Oregon Book Award winner * An NPR Best Book of the Year * Pacific Northwest Book Award finalist * A Reading the West Book Awards finalist "Groundbreaking. … A must-read. ... An essential addition." —True West In August 1908, three unknown riders arrived in Cheyenne, Wyoming, their hats adorned with wildflowers, to compete in the world’s greatest rodeo. Steer-roping virtuoso Ikua Purdy and his cousins Jack Low and Archie Ka’au’a had travelled 4,200 miles from Hawaii, of all places, to test themselves against the toughest riders in the West. Dismissed by whites, who considered themselves the only true cowboys, the native Hawaiians would astonish the country, returning home champions—and American legends. An unforgettable human drama set against the rough-knuckled frontier, David Wolman and Julian Smith’s Aloha Rodeo unspools the fascinating and little-known true story of the Hawaiian cowboys, or paniolo, whose 1908 adventure upended the conventional history of the American West. What few understood when the three paniolo rode into Cheyenne is that the Hawaiians were no underdogs. They were the product of a deeply engrained cattle culture that was twice as old as that of the Great Plains, for Hawaiians had been chasing cattle over the islands’ rugged volcanic slopes and through thick tropical forests since the late 1700s. Tracing the life story of Purdy and his cousins, Wolman and Smith delve into the dual histories of ranching and cowboys in the islands, and the meteoric rise and sudden fall of Cheyenne, “Holy City of the Cow.” At the turn of the twentieth century, larger-than-life personalities like “Buffalo Bill” Cody and Theodore Roosevelt capitalized on a national obsession with the Wild West and helped transform Cheyenne’s annual Frontier Days celebration into an unparalleled rodeo spectacle, the “Daddy of ‘em All.” The hopes of all Hawaii rode on the three riders’ shoulders during those dusty days in August 1908. The U.S. had forcibly annexed the islands just a decade earlier. The young Hawaiians brought the pride of a people struggling to preserve their cultural identity and anxious about their future under the rule of overlords an ocean away. In Cheyenne, they didn’t just astound the locals; they also overturned simplistic thinking about cattle country, the binary narrative of “cowboys versus Indians,” and the very concept of the Wild West. Blending sport and history, while exploring questions of identity, imperialism, and race, Aloha Rodeo spotlights an overlooked and riveting chapter in the saga of the American West.

"A charming tale of a couple of young people in the early 1900's and the beginning of motion pictures. Complete with romance, peril, and a villain." ~May, Verified Reviewer It's 1905, early in the Silent Film era, and orphan Amy Wilkes is "discovered" by producer Martin Tafft at a Pasadena Health Spa. Whisked away to the movie-making set, Amy is glamorized and placed before her leading man: a rugged, oh-so-handsome Arizona cowboy named Charlie Fox. Charlie, another "natural", needs money for his ranch, not the naive attentions of a beautiful starlet no matter how far she turns his head. On screen, sparks fly between Amy and Charlie, as the pair struggle to act like people they're not. Off screen, they face the scuttling machinations of the other actors and Charlie realizes what Amy truly dreams of--love and security. He offers her both. But first, Amy must open her heart. AWARDS: Romantic Times KISS Award REVIEWS: "Alice Duncan's knowledge of the 1900's film era brings a sparkle to COWBOY FOR HIRE. Highly recommended." ~Word Weaving "What a delightful read! Fascinating era... fascinating backdrop... and a lovely romance!" ~Norah Wilson, USA Today bestselling author THE DREAM MAKER SERIES, in order Cowboy for Hire Beauty and the Brain The Miner's Daughter Her Leading Man

Rachel Swaby and Kit Fox present Mighty Moe, the untold true story of runner Maureen Wilton, whose world record-breaking marathon time at age 13 was met first with misogyny and controversy, but ultimately with triumph. Fifty-two years ago, a girl known as Mighty Moe broke the women’s world marathon record at a small race in Toronto. This was an era when girls and women were discouraged from the sport and the longest track event at the Olympics for women was 25.6 miles shorter than a marathon. Thirteen-year-old Moe’s world-beating victory was greeted with chauvinistic disapproval and accusations of cheating—as were many of her achievements in the sport she had excelled at from the age of ten. Within less than two years, the controversy took its toll and Maureen quit running. Here is the untold story of Mighty Moe’s tenacity and triumph in the face of adversity as a young athlete—and of a grown-up Maureen finding her way back to the sport decades later. This inspiring biography for readers and racers of all ages showcases the truly groundbreaking achievements of an unassuming, amazing young athlete. Mighty Moe includes an introduction by Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to officially register and run in the Boston Marathon (and Maureen’s only fellow female competitor at the 1967 record-setting race), and an afterword by Des Linden, the first-place finisher of the 11,628 women who raced the 2018 Boston Marathon.
