Customer Reviews

Excellent, excellent, excellent

I highly recommend this book to all - those that love the life of a Western ranch and those that are just curious. You will be entertained and enlightened by these essays. You will laugh and develop a deeper sense of compassion. Diane is a wonderful writer and brings her stories to life with powerful word pictures. You won't regret soaking up this book!

Go West, Young Woman

Although I've read many books by and about women in the West, this is a refreshing new twist on the oft-told memoir in which the author marries a sheep and cattle rancher and grows to love the wide open and arid spaces of Southern Idaho, as well as the interesting characters she meets along the process. What's new about it? Peavey is the daughter of noted western historian Alvin Josephy, and spent every summer of her childhood at the family ranch in Joseph, Oregon. the book is a collection of her commentaries on Boise's National Public Radio station, and shows that she has inherited her father's wonderful felicity with the English language, as well as his sensitivity to issues in the contemporary West. This book belongs on one's bookshelf along with those by Terry Tempest Williams, Gretel Erlich, Kim Barnes, and Terri Hein. This is the perfect gift for those who grew up on a farm or ranch, or have just visited one!
