WINNER: Journey Grand Prize for Narrative Nonfiction from Chanticleer International Book Awards

"Her poetic prose places readers right alongside her as we root for her and the friends she makes along the way." -MacKenzie Chase, Arizona Daily Sun

"An extraordinary memoir and one we highly recommend!" -Chanticleer Reviews
> When you ride across the rock-strewn terrain of a family-owned horse and cattle business, though, a gritty challenge awaits along the trail to every panoramic view. Entangled in the barbs of ranching and relationships, Julie will meet cold-hearted cowboys and funny farriers, learn how to ranch one-handed, and become an expert in assessing what's essential.

This is a romance in which the objects of devotion are hard-working horses and iconic western vistas, where hope and horseshoes harmonize and help arrives from the most unlikely places. Julie's journey of personal discovery will inspire readers to blaze their own trails to a future only they can create.

"... keenly observant prose, capable of transporting readers directly to the trail." -Kirkus Reviews
