Jameson Parker invites us not only into the world of the modern day cowboy, but also on his very personal journey to reclaim what a bullet almost took away - not just his life, but his very soul.

I love this book, and recommend it highly!

Who would have expected that a brush with death would lead a Hollywood actor to explore life on a ranch? Yet that is what happened, and Jameson Parker has written a riveting account of the challenging life of modern cowboys while simultaneously capturing his battle with the demons of depression. I found this fascinating and gracefully written. It is a book I could not put down until I had read the very last page.

I loved all the cowboy stories! Being a "city-slicker" it was all new to me and yet I found the stories interesting, and very, very funny at times. The parts about the shooting and the aftermath were hard to read and I was very surprised that the writer exposed himself as much as he did. I thought that was very brave and I hope it helped him to get it down on paper. I never felt the writer to be overdramatic, whiney or self indulgent. ANY shooting, whether the wounds be superficial or not, is very tramatic. I question one reviewers motives when they say that they purchased the book out of "sheer boredom". They go on to say that they had no interest in reading about life on a ranch. Wouldn't reading about something you had no interest in cause you to become more bored? Could this review be a personal vendetta? Sounded like it to me.
