From the dusty pit of a corral during branding time and his first bruising ride on an angry bull to his unsuccessful try at lovemaking and his shame after he kills a trapped weasel out of fear,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I received the book as a gift. "Oh great! Another cute story about the cowboy culture", I thought. But I felt I'd better read it lest I hurt the feelings of the giver.What a pleasant surprise. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable reads I've had in a long time.Ralph Reynolds can tell a wonderful tale. The only issue I'd take is with the title. It might have been more appropriately titled, "Growing Up Human". His stories were so human and touching that the "cowboy" could have been anywhere anytime. It just happened he was "the Luna Kid".Pure pleasure. (I would have given it five stars, but I'm reserving that score for Hemingway.)
