About this title

Synopsis

The heart and soul of the West is seen through the eyes of its women—cowgirl poets writing about jinglin’ the horses home, haymaking time, cowboy courtin’, livin’ free, July thunderstorms, and real wealth, among other things close to a cowgirl’s heart. And, of course, there are plenty of poignant observations on life and men.
