You gotta love your cowboys!

I read this book last night and just couldn't put it down. The rich family relationships are so visual and full that you really feel you know these people and are feeling with them and for them. If you love animals...and talk to them, as I do, you will really relate to Cappy's "heart to heart" with his herd -his children. I have horses and dogs and tell them my inner most thoughts...and you know, they listen and understand. Pass this book on to your friends. It's a keeper.

I couldn't put the Cowboys of Haddington Moor down. It was absolutely the best story I have read in a long, long time. The author connected with both my wife and myself, so much so, that I told him that I'd love to play the lead role of 'Cappy' when it's made into a movie. Keep your eye on this one!
A fresh, original story.

I'm not particularly fond of fiction but this book was so unique, I made an exception. I loved how the family pulled together to overcome "the odds" against them. It was very moving and I too think we'll see this as a classic motion picture someday.
IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING!

This book is a non-stop, roller coaster romp of a tale. I recently did a review on it for The Scotsman newspaper and recommended it to our UK readers. It's a relatively short read of about 4 hours in length. Be prepared to read it in one sitting AND by all means have tissue paper ready because it's a tear-jerker.
