A young man's dream of being the best cowboy at the best ranch is tested by something he never expected: his love for a married woman. In 1917, 19-year-old Charlie Kelly lives with his family working a large ranch outside Fort Sumner, New Mexico. But Charlie is tired of fixing everyone's problems, especially the ones his father creates. Charlie wants to become a "top hand" at the world-famous Miller's 101 Ranch in northern Oklahoma. A confrontation in Fort Sumner forces the Kelly family to leave New Mexico, and is the push that Charlie needs to chase his dream. But the road to becoming a cowboy at the 101 Ranch takes many twists and turns, and Charlie encounters a major detour when he meets Susan. She captures his heart, despite being married, and Charlie soon finds that his plan faces major conflicts that forces Charlie to make some tough decisions. Through it all Charlie struggles to fulfill his destiny.

The gospel of Jesus has not always been good news for Native Americans. But despite the far-reaching effects of colonialism, some Natives have forged culturally authentic ways to follow Jesus. In his final work, Richard Twiss surveys the complicated history of Christian missions among Indigenous peoples and voices a hopeful vision of contextual Native Christian faith.

Bailey Hayes finally seems to have her life together years after running away from home, but one phone call is about to change everything... Death of a parent and the news of her newly widowed mother tugged at her heartstrings and compels her to return to her former home, which is now under the property of the owners of River-bird Ranch, a neighboring ranch spanning twenty times the size of Freedom, her childhood home and her family’s medium-sized ranch in Texas. Bittersweet family reunions resulted in Bailey bumping into Donovan Branch—the owner of River-bird Ranch—who after a series of tragedies of his own, has built walls around his heart. Donovan wants to resist falling for Bailey, the beautiful, strong-headed woman who said she went to the city but won’t tell why. Especially because she made it clear that the only reason that she was back was to convince her mother to move back with her to the city. Will Bailey and Donovan end up getting their much-deserved happiness as Bailey reconciles with her unintentionally abandoned faith? Will they find strength in their newfound love and get their happily ever after? Or will the demons of Donovan’s past and Bailey’s succeed in breaking them apart?

So many books about the American West leave out the more intriguing details: When, in 1803, the young USA doubled its size with the purchase from France of an unexplored vastness called La Louisiane, it was a British bank which lent the Americans most of the $15 million that they didn't have. So the financial papers for the biggest real-estate deal in history are, to this day, held in a London vault. Not many people know that… If his ranching uncle-by-marriage had had his way, the teenaged Winston Churchill – a disappointing scholar – might have been sent west to Wyoming to train as a cowboy. Who knows but, in time, he himself might have become a rancher. How then would history have turned out? Another ranching Englishman played a key role in recruiting a small army of Texas gunmen to “invade” northern Wyoming and kill more than 40 small settlers, men who had too easily been accused of being rustlers. The plan went badly wrong. But the Englishman had slipped away – gone home on holiday… It seems unlikely that Butch Cassidy was killed in a Bolivian shoot-out. It seems that he returned, under a false name, to live out his days in the West. In 1935, he even submitted a autobiographical script to Hollywood – only to have it rejected as being “too preposterous to be believable”. He died two years later – penniless. “Royal tourist visits the Colonies” was the local headline. In her VC-10, the Queen had flown into the small town of Sheridan in Wyoming. First, she took an extended walkabout along Main Street and then she holidayed for several days on a friend's ranch in the shadow of the Big Horn Mountain … Tim Slessor, a one-time BBC producer, has filmed “out West” for nearly 50 years. In this book, he picks out a selection of fascinating stories that range from the mountain men and their fur trade to the pioneers of the overland trail, from Custer and the disaster at the Little Big Horn to the last stand of the Sioux at Wounded Knee, from the early cow-towns and the railroads to the cattle barons and the emigrant sod-busters.

When Zoe Winter, an ambitious and self-aware cowgirl, is exhausted from the pursuit of city life, she makes a hard decision. Now it's time to live with her choices... Dive deep into the series of how a young girl, defeated and disappointed in the system, forges her own path and refuses to be a mindless wheel driving the broken system. The story is peppered with humorous anecdotes, wholesome characters, and sometimes sad memory flashbacks. Zoe soon enters an unpredictable friendship and although it's seemingly perfect, Aaron does not come without his own emotional baggage. By the lake, they become friends and each other's haven and seek solace in each other's company. Oblivious to them, the bond they forge becomes stronger and soon they're inseparable. But Aaron still has not shared where he disappears off to randomly, nor anything about his family as he fears it would tear them apart- if another tragedy does not do it first.

Quietly, the man opened the door. He was the only one that entered into the parsonage, his boys all waited outside. When he entered the room, fear gripped him. The Reverend Father was already asleep. He tiptoed to his bedside to have a clearer view. The priest was indeed fast asleep. He resembled a dead man, he thought within himself. Just then, he heard noise coming from the window area. He quickly moved near the window to check what was happening. He raised the curtain slightly and discovered it was one of his boys, already dismantling the window by first removing the louvers. He motioned for him to stop. But the boy kept removing the louvers, but this time, he did it more quietly. As he made to turn back, he was faced by the nozzle of a gun. It was Father Willoughby. The noise at the window had awoken him. He had watched as the man briskly moved to that direction and the encounter with his boy outside and had used the opportunity to grab his gun under his pillow. Jesus! he exclaimed. You! Oh my god . . . !
