Book Overview

Ride a tumbleweed back in time to life in a small, southwestern community as seen through the eyes of a young girl during the fifties and sixties.

AWARD:

2016 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards "Finalist" in one category: Biography (Other)


Growing up as a member of a ranching family in Branson, a small town in southeastern Colorado, provided author Larada Horner-Miller a treasure-trove of stories, characters, and emotional moments that make up her touching memoir.

This collection of poems and prose transports readers back to rural America during the fifties and sixties, to one idyllic, tight-knit community in particular.

Each of the book's eight sections weaves a nostalgic, uplifting yarn that tells of

playtimes with friends and neighbors, favorite hiding places, living without a telephone for the first eleven years of life, and the touching memories of growing up on a ranch community.


Whether it is Saturday night dances or hot days working with 4-H at the county fair, the poems and pages roll along like a tumbleweed in search of a place to land. Readers will find themselves longing to go back to this very authentic time and place, whether they actually experienced it in their own lives or not.

Read about this daddy's little girl and her adventures that mold and shape her formative years. Where will this tumbleweed land, and what kind of woman will she be when she finally arrives?
