Customer Reviews

Short stories to take you to the distance.

Peggy Simpson Curry writes a story you can sink your teeth into be it a short story or a novel. She said that seeing the Tetons for the first time was like being born again, reading one of her short stories is like learning to read again. She knows how to write fiction about human nature, the wide sweep of the Wyoming plains, the nuances and candence of the language of man, be he ranch hand or boss. Peggy Simpson Curry writes a mean story and we can all learn by her tales. Besides that the picture on the cover of the paper back book was taken on our property and includes our hayrake! :)

Loved the stories set in the Rockies.

Ms. Curry does a wonderful job describing life in the Rockies, whether it be on a hay farm, sheep ranch, or school bus. I was less impressed when she her stories ventured to California or to the East; those stories seemed less genuine
