I haven't quite finished this book, yet only started yesterday, and will finish today. It is a great story about a young man who can't figure out who he's supposed to be...a college student persuing writing, or a cowboy. He decides to try out his cowboy side, and moves west to learn ranching, bringing his college sweetheart with him. It has some sad undertones...you hope he can figure out who he is before he ruins himself and his wife. He can't have completed uprooted his whole life just to give up and lose it all can he? I can't wait to see how it ends.
