As a boy in Wyoming, Hap Bowman fell in love with a girl named Juanita. Ever since, he's experienced nothing but failure and misfortune. Laramie Majors - quiet, reserved, and patient to a fault - has never left Hap's side since they became rodeo partners right out of college. Now, after spending most of his adult life looking for Juanita, Hap is finally ready to admit defeat. But not before one last big search that will take them all over the Southwest. Together these two cowpokes find themselves reluctant heroes in a series of misadventures as they travel the West. From herding cattle along the Rio Grande and rounding up wild mustangs on a military testing ground, to competing in a rodeo and helping a friend fight a crooked park ranger, these two modern day drifters show that the cowboy is alive and thriving in the new West.
Stephen Bly is the author of 95 books and hundreds of articles. The mayor of Winchester, Idaho in his spare time, he pursues the three R's of ridin', ropin', and rodeo ... and construction of Broken Arrow Crossing, a false front western village near his home. Visit his Web site at www.blybooks.com.
