Author's Biography
I grew up in cowboy country on a ranch in the Sandhills of Nebraska. Faith, family, and hard work shaped my days. My childhood memories include riding horses, caring for cattle, driving a tractor, and helping mom in the kitchen.I enjoyed attending a one-room country school and going to church on Sundays. Even though I was a homebody, college and, then a career, led me far from the ranch. I met my husband in Virginia, and we settled on our own peaceful spot in the country. God blessed us with one son. He still loves traveling to the ranch to be with his Grandpa. This story is inspired by watching the special bond between my father and my son, a bond they still share.
