The Reluctant Cowboy - Tapa blanda

This is a story about a young cowboy named Jed Peterson. It's a tale set in West Texas about being lost and being found, saving and being saved. It's about bull riding and horse training. It's about being different, being tough but at the same time, gentle; and it's about staying true to ourselves. but more than anything, this tale is about the enduring power of love.

Elizabeth (Beth) Garcia has lived for more than thirty years in the Big Bend country of far west Texas. She has hiked, rafted, explored, and earned a living in this wild desert-mountain land near the Rio Grande, on the border of the United States and Mexico. It was experiencing the deep canyons, creosote-covered bajadas, and stark, jagged mountains; the wide-open spaces and dark, starry nights that eventually brought her to writing. One Bloody Shirt at a Time is her first novel, but not her first written story. It is the first of many Deputy Ricos tales. Beth lives with her cat, Bubs, who watches intently from his sovereign space on the desk next to her computer--when he isn't napping or critiquing her work.
