"Much more than a coming-of-age story, "Badluck Way" is an
important meditation on what it means to share space and breathe
the same air as truly wild animals, and the necessary damage that
can occur when boundaries are crossed" (Tom Groneberg, author of
"The Secret Life of Cowboys").
In this gripping memoir of a young man, a wolf, their parallel
lives and ultimate collision, Bryce Andrews describes life on the
remote, windswept Sun Ranch in southwest Montana. The Sun's twenty
thousand acres of rangeland occupy a still-wild corner of southwest
Montana--a high valley surrounded by mountain ranges and steep
creeks with portentous names like Grizzly and Bad Luck. Just over
the border from Yellowstone National Park, the Sun holds giant
herds of cattle and elk amid many predators--bears, mountain lions,
and wolves.
In lyrical, haunting language, Andrews recounts marathon days and
nights of building fences, riding, roping, and otherwise learning
the hard business of caring for cattle, an initiation that changes
him from an idealistic city kid into a skilled ranch hand. But when
wolves suddenly begin killing the ranch's cattle, Andrews has to
shoulder a rifle, chase the pack, and do what he'd hoped he would
never have to do.
Called "an elegant memoir" by the "Great Falls Tribune," "Badluck
Way" is about transformation and complications, about living with
dirty hands every day. It is about the hard choices that wake us at
night and take a lifetime to reconcile. Above all, "Badluck Way"
celebrates the breathtaking beauty of wilderness and the
satisfaction of hard work on some of the harshest, most beautiful
land in the world.
