Travel from civilized, West Coast society to the rugged mountains of the west, and learn how determination can bring an independent woman from the depths of despair to achievements beyond her dreams, as a rancher, performer, and world traveler. Mixing cow-talk, horse sense, and personal revelations, Carole Mercer will lead you on a humorous, heart-wrenching, and inspiring ride through her personal experiences as she recreates herself again and again. This is a not a story of just one woman's life, but of the many lives she has interacted and grown with. The result is a novel-quality memoir that will keep you reading.
