Gloss does for our dreams of being horse-taming cowgirls what Sara Gruen did for our dreams of running away with the circus -- making them wonderful and real, while teaching us what it was like to live in America's recent past. Martha Lessen dreams of living as a wandering cowboy -- but, then, she is transformed by her love for the people and horses of an Oregon ranch community. I loved this book. --Andy Lillich, University of Oregon Bookstore (Eugene, OR)

Not since Earth Prayers From Around the World have I seen such a wonderful collection of graces. The words come from many traditions, from cultures past and present, but they all find a way to say in heartwarming language, 'For this meal, for this company, for our gifts, thank you.'--Eric Robbins, Apple Valley Books (Winthrop, ME)

"It's impossible for me to sort out what I liked best about this novel, set in Montana between the 1920s and 2000 -- the appealing characters, the peel-an-onion structure, or McNamer's almost-invisible style, so good you almost don't notice it. Ultimately, it comes down to a story, about the once-youthful, self-styled gauchos, lovers of the long ride, who take us on a memorable one." --Russ Lawrence, Chapter One Book Store, Hamilton, MT

Hope springs eternal! Betsy Carter's characters understand this -- their efforts to reinvent themselves make this a lively and very funny novel." --Marian Nielsen, Orinda Books, Orinda, CA

"Based on the 1862 Sioux uprising in Minnesota, Maltman's novel is a gripping tale of this sad event, which ended with the mass hanging of 38 Sioux. Reading Maltman I am reminded of Ivan Doig or Larry Watson: great style, great narrative, and a stunning portrait of the times." --Richard Taber, Village Books, Bellingham, WA
