"This book is simply irresistible, refreshing and impossible to put down. Jolyn Young, a mother of three, wife of a true cowboy, takes us on a memorable and deeply authentic journey into her remote and beautiful world and boy, is it a ride! The author is armed with a wicked sense of humor, a strong sense of survival and purpose, and a big, bright, strong, and ultra-fresh female Western voice. Don't miss this book--it is the real-life experience of a cowboy wife, and a refreshing antidote to the glittery and drama-driven world of 'Yellowstone'." --Feli Funke, Creative Producer of the film Cowboys--A Documentary Portrait
"As authentic as her secondhand sundresses and worn-out jeans Jolyn Young perfectly pens a sweetly honest, real-life account of a carefree, 20-something woman who finds herself suddenly, irrevocably immersed in marriage, motherhood and the barbed-wire-tough realities of loving a rough-around-the-edges cowboy. A gifted storyteller, Young takes readers on remote ranch adventures, reveals the meanderings of a woman's heart and spices up each chapter with girl-grit and a handful of humor. Saddle up for a comfortable ride that will keep you turning page after page as the adventures, struggles and laughs unfold. I couldn't put it down. I didn't want it to end. I can't wait for the sequel!" --Jeanie Hankins, Award-winning writer & newspaper publisher
"How many young women juggle their time between a career in journalism and buckarooing full time on a big ranch in the Great Basin? If that wasn't enough, Jolyn Young then married a handsome horseman and learned to deal with his friends, who gave wedding presents that could be life threatening. She drove worn-out ranch pickups down rough mountain roads in the winter, kept her baby from freezing to death in houses so cold that the mice slept outside, and then she ended up in the most remote cow camp in America. This book isn't fiction, it's about reality and romance in the modern West." --Ed Ashurst, Author, Cowboy, Ranch Manager
"Jolyn Young is as brave in her storytelling as she is in her own life." --Jessie Veeder, Singer/Songwriter/Writer/Photographer
