Book Description
More than twenty years ago, I began jotting down notes of little sayings my father used to teach us lessons when we were growing up. In the beginning, I wrote them down as I remembered them, usually when I was faced with one of life's challenges. I would recall one of dad's sayings and use it to help me make a decision or just get through a tough situation. Relying on dad's sayings usually guided me in the right direction. Over the next few years, I had compiled many of his sayings and began keeping them in a notebook. I developed a desire to write a book of these sayings, in memory of my father, who was a big inspiration in my life. I felt that others might find these pearls of my father's wisdom helpful or, at the very least, entertaining.

Book Description
Fifteen-year-old Joey Burkett wonders if he will ever be successful at anything. He always thought he would grow up to be a rodeo performer as his father, a world champion cowboy, had been, but Daddy died in a rodeo accident. When he grew to six feet tall in the eighth grade, he thought he might be a basketball player, but that would mean college, and he is failing math. Joey hopes that whatever his future, his new peer tutor, Julie Hernandez, who he really admires, will be a part of it, and that Matthew Kane, the new man in his mother’s life, will not. When Joey quarrels with Julie and becomes upset at his mother’s going out with Matt, he goes along with a friend to “borrow” an expensive sports car. In an attempt to see how fast it would go, they wreck the car. Joey thinks he is headed to Juvenile Detention, but Matt Kane comes up with a plan for Joey to work on his ranch and raise beef calves for the summer to earn money to pay for the damages.. Joey hates ranch work and considers running away to Colorado where Daddy’s old rodeo partner lives. Then, he learns that his mother had mortgaged their home, and he is determined to stick it out until the calves are sold. When the calves are stolen, Joey is devastated, but he pulls himself together, and his quick thinking saves the day. With Matt’s help, Joey gains the knowledge and confidence to work on his math skills and return to school. My Daddy Was A Real Cowboy is set in modern day Western Oklahoma where cowboys still herd cattle on horseback, and rustlers still steal cattle.

Book Description
This book encourages anyone that may have traveled the same path. Which I'm sure, any one who was given away without turning back has no feeling to what new life is all about. How or where this person might end up. God has given me the strength to look back and be thankful that the family that took me in, did appreciate and did show me what love is all about. Some people can be truly insensitive to others. No fault of yours. So you may have more negative than positive, but patience is a virtue and your time will come. Just believe and put your trust in God because he does answer all prayers.
