When the cowboys walk off the job leaving no one to drive the cattle to market, head ranch hand, Alex Bright, cannot convince the men to stay. How could Alex let this happen? Maggie is desperate to save the ranch and she turns to the town’s women for help. The new cowgirls must herd, rope, and drive the cattle to market. With only two days left, outlaws charge the small band of cowgirls in an effort to start a stampede. The cattle begin to scatter. Will they lose everything? Where will their help come from?

Book excerpt: In drought-stricken Arizona, twenty-four- year-old Azalea Brown suddenly finds herself a widow. She has three hundred head of cattle and a dozen saddle horses, but no money as her husband had gambled it all away. What is more, she has no official papers to prove the ownership of her herd. The scheming Josefina Brown de Flores claims to be her husband's long-lost daughter and steals Azalea's herd before anyone can stop her. Who can Azalea trust to ride with her on a roundup to claim her rightful property? Coming along are two frightened girls escaping from a violent saloon owner; the choice for them seems to be bedroom or kitchen, and they want neither! Life on the cattle drive, with all its dust and dangers, centers on the chuck wagon and its pots and pans and sacks of corn. The author gives us mouth-watering details of making egg gravy, black bean frijoles, and molasses pie. There are also calves to eat, goats, and even rattlers seasoned with herbs and spices, to add to the pot. Phyllis de la Garza brings all her knowledge of the Old West to her storytelling skills, bringing vividly to life the dust and dangers of a vast cattle drive and the struggle for women to survive and thrive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blizzards, droughts, predators, unpredictable markets, and a host of other calamities tell the history of the daily struggles of Western ranching, and perhaps no one has told the story better than Nannie T. Alderson, a transplanted southern woman who married a cowboy and found herself in eastern Montana trying to build a ranching business a one-hundred-mile horse-and-buggy ride from the nearest town. Unfamiliar with even the most basic household chores, she soon found herself washing, cooking, riding, cleaning, branding, and a host of other ranch activities for which her upbringing had not prepared her. Although Nannie Alderson and her husband, Walt, would eventually move to Miles City, her story of the rigors of ranch life serves as the preeminent account of Montana ranch life and culture. This edition features a foreword from Nannie’s great-grandniece, Jeanie Alderson, who ranches in the same area.
