A Refreshing Female Perspective Of Life In The Wild West

This book is a gem and would have to be one of my favourite collection of short stories set in the bygone days of the Old Wild West. In a genre largely dominated by men Ms. Coleman has bravely and successfully written a book full of real, believable characters and situations.It is interesting to note that many male writers in this field have great difficulty in creating believable female characters. Not so with Ms. Coleman.Read this book if you want to hear about life in the Old West from a woman's point of view. Well done Ms. Coleman!!!

Touching,delightful and wise stories of ordinary people .

I loved this book. I've given it to numerous people as a gift and plan to continue. Written in the best kind of poetic prose, these stories delight the mind while informing the spirit. One wearies so of stories that leave one feeling life is a struggle. These encourage us to overcome while weaving a tale. I noticed that the author was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for this and she deserved to win. I look forward to reading what else she's done.
