I do not understand my oldest baby basset one little bit. He is all excited because the class has to learn where all the states are, how to spell them correctly, and what the capitals are…by MONDAY! He is actually acting like it is a holiday on Monday and the present is the test. I just had a flash back to that week in school when I had the exact same assignment. I put it off and put it off, then when the test was in front of me I just sat there knowing I knew none of it. I may have known about 10% of it, but really I just guessed. I might have drawn a few smiley faces (poorly). I even remember getting the test back and it was an F. I wasn’t too upset though because at least I didn’t have to memorize all the states and the capitals.

The Hardest Ride

FREE for a limited time
A USA TODAY and Amazon bestseller, this wonderfully crafted tale of 1800s Western life won the Western Fictioneers’ Peacemaker Award for Best Western Novel 2014, was a Western Fictioneers Peacemaker Award Finalist for Best First Western Novel 2014, and was a Western Writers of America Spur Award Finalist for Best Traditional Western Novel for 2013.
The Texas-Mexico border, the winter of 1886 — The Great Die Up. A raw rift separates Mexicans and Anglos. A loner cowpoke and a mute Mexican girl fight man and nature to reunite.
Out of work cowpoke Bud Eugen comes across Marta, a mute sixteen-year old Mexican girl whose family has been killed by Indians. Bud reluctantly takes her along, even though he’s never had to accommodate another person in his simple life. He’s unable to find anyone willing to take her. In spite of his prejudices, Bud grows to like the spunky girl (and her excellent cooking).
Eventually, they both find work on a border ranch. Here, the relationship between the girl and the young cowboy hesitantly grows. But banditos raid the ranch, kidnapping the rancher’s daughters and Marta. Bud, with twelve other men, pursue the banditos into the most desolate reaches of Mexico. Ambushes and battles with banditos, Rurales, and traitors are constant, and the brutal weather is as much a threat as the man-made perils. Life and death choices are made at every turn as one side gains the advantage, then the other.
