The Prodigal Is Coming Home It's been a long time since Colt Stafford shrugged off his cowboy legacy for shiny Manhattan loafers and a promising career on Wall Street. But when stock market manipulations leave him financially strapped, the oldest son of legendary rancher Sam Stafford decides to return to the sprawling Double S ranch in Gray's Glen, Washington. He's broke, but not broken, and it's time to get his legs back under him by climbing into the saddle again. He doesn't expect to come home to a stranger pointing a loaded gun at his chest-- a tough yet beautiful woman that Sam hired as the house manager. Colt senses there's more to Angelina Morales than meets the eye, and he's determined to find out what she's hiding...and why. Colt's return brings new challenges. Younger brother Nick, who's longbeen Sam's right-hand man,isn't thrilled when Colt inserts himself into Double S affairs. And the ranch's contentious relationship with the town's people forces all the Stafford men to reconsider what it truly means to be a neighbor. As Wall Street recovers, will Colt succumb to the call of the financial district--or stay in the saddle for good?

Life in the Saddle
Author: Frank Collinson
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 9780806129235
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Englishman Frank Collinson went to Texas in 1872, when he was seventeen, to work on Will Noonan’s ranch near Castroville. He lived the rest of his life in the southwestern United States, and at the age of seventy-nine began writing about the Old West he knew and loved. He had a flair for writing, a phenomenal memory, and a passion for truth that is evident in what he wrote and said. His writings for Ranch Romances, his letters, and transcriptions of his conversations have been arranged here in roughly chronological order, so that their importance for frontier history is readily apparent. Collinson ranged the West in his writings as he did in person, telling of the last tragic days of buffalo hunting on the Plains; clashes between hunters or cowboys and the Plains Indians; the character of trail drivers; and the definitive nature of violence, particularly at gun-point. J. Frank Dobie said of Collinson: "In the realm of frontier chronicles, the writing of educated Englishmen. . . men with the perspective of civilization, with imagination, and a lust for primitive nature, stand out. To this class of men belongs Frank Collinson."

Man on a Horse
Author: Mark Peterson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780989848305
Category : Faith
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
In 1993, when he was twenty-four years old, Mark Peterson made a choice that left him no option but to trust God for everything. Accompanied by only his horse and a borrowed pack mule, Mark rode north toward Canada from California's Central Valley carrying no provisions and a question: Is the God of the Bible still God today? He spent the next two and a half months riding over West Coast rivers, mountains, valleys, and rangelands, sleeping in hay barns, praying with strangers, being stripped of self-reliance, and watching God provide for his every need in the most unexpected ways. Written in language kids can understand, and supplemented with footnotes to deepen the story for adult readers, Man on a Horse is a true story of adventure, God's provision, and Jesus's power to touch lives and change hearts today. The power of God's response to Mark's honest question shines through on every page, inspiring faith and a simple love for Jesus in both children and adults.
