The title says it all... Dawn shares her stories of cattle rustlers, horse traders, critters, city folk, idiots, and living the country life as a rancher, mother, author and cowgirl.
On the heels of her previous collections, the award winning, A Cowgirl Remembers When and A Cowgirl Never Forgets, Dawn shares what it’s like, and what it takes, to handle the ranch, the city, and the country as a genuine cowgirl.
It’s Western wisdom, wit and humor at its best.

My Take on the Book
In this book Dawn Nelson paints a picture of the west that is so vivid. Add in humor and characters that are fun and engaging and you get a memorable story. This story is deeply personal to Dawn and you get to know her more as a person and you truly get to see why the characters that she writes about are as multi-dimensional as they are as you get to know her as a person. All I can say is that I can only hope that my daughters can encompass as much as this author does as they grow up as well, as Ms. Nelson truly is inspirational.
