Description

Laura Bell's memoir is a vivid account of her life in the American West. In 1977, she left her family home to herd sheep in Wyoming's Big Horn Basin, seeking a new way of life. She found a community among drunks and eccentrics who shared her passion for solitude and hard work. As she navigated this unconventional world, Bell took on various roles - cattle rancher, forest ranger, outfitter, masseuse, wife and mother - all while struggling to find solid ground. Her story is one of self-discovery and resilience in the face of adversity. This memoir offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era, where the boundaries between work and life were often blurred. With its blend of grit, humor and introspection, Bell's account is both breathtaking and singular.
