Description

This memoir holds within its calloused hands the comradery women long for, set against vivid and enduring depictions of Montana character. Katie Dawn befriends the reader by sharing the hilarity, haunting, and healing of her life experiences within the close-knit community of five women that helped shape her The Posse. Monthly gatherings for Wax Night become the backbone of their friendships and offer the freedom to bare all. Katie's writing style balances sass and sarcasm with deep and raw vulnerability; a rare and intensely satisfying combination. She masterfully articulates the distilled feelings of trauma and gratitude that many before have struggled to express. As far-reaching as the Big Sky, and yet as intimate as a conversation by a glimmering campfire, this book will resonate long after the last page is savored.

Author Bio

Katie Dawn is a native-born Montana author, raised by the mountains and rivers that surrounded her. Being raised in a small town forged both hardship and joy in abundance and allowed a vibrant backdrop for earning her English degree at Montana State University, as well as the breadth and space to explore her musings as an author. With a strong propensity for dancing, laughter, and sarcasm, she celebrates a life lived simply.

In her memoir series, blog posts, and short essays, Katie writes with a raw authenticity that engages the irreverent and sacred potential of femininity, balanced by a depth of vulnerability that resonates through the innermost caverns of her readers.

Katie's love for landscapes, adventure, and writing is only surpassed by her tenacious devotion to her cowboy, the two boys they wrangle daily, her family, and a posse of close friends.
