Inhaltsangabe

“Outstanding memoir . . . as well as closely observed, poignant, and wistful."—C. J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Three-Inch Teeth

A captivating, unfiltered account of growing up on a ranch, where every decision defines character

A Sometimes Paradise is a moving personal journey into the rugged beauty and hardscrabble challenges of Wyoming ranch life that shaped Mark Miller as a boy and then as a young man.

Against the backdrop of deadly ice storms and punishing droughts in a harsh, unforgiving environment, Mark shares stories of adventures, misadventures, and invaluable lessons he learned along the way. As he adapted to the rugged Wyoming terrain, he forged an unbreakable connection with the land and animals—and discovered the true power of family and friendship.

An eloquent account of self-discovery, A Sometimes Paradise paints a vivid portrait of resilience and a steadfast commitment to a vanishing way of life. More than a memoir, it is a testament to the enduring spirit of the American West and the people who call it home.

"Magic, understanding, and truth lie within these pages. . . . A Sometimes Paradise is a masterwork.”—W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O’Neal Gear, New York Times bestselling authors
