The Christmas Cowboy (and Two Other Stories) is a book of
adventure, but there's more to it than action. It's about a
professional saddle bronc rider making his final trip to the
National Finals Rodeo. He goes to Las Vegas with a wounded heart
and a bad knee, and his chances of winning are slim. But he agrees
to do some public relations work, a trip to a burn center, and
there he meets a remarkable boy. This is a turning point for him.
It is also the story of a bucking horse, one that few men have been
able to ride. Our cowboy draws him in the final round, which makes
for a dramatic ending. Topock, a short story, is also about a bronc
rider dealing with some life shattering difficulties. But he finds
a badly injured dog and rescues it. The dog heals, but it takes
some time for the man and dog to make friends. But the dog turns
out to be an extraordinary animal, and the most loyal friend a man
could ever have, and dealing with him changes the man's life. In
Escape From Cloud Canyon, we deal with an elderly man who becomes
rebellious. He too is suffering from some setbacks, and his
irresponsible actions get him sentenced to a security retirement
village. There he makes a promise to a dying friend, and this
prompts him to plot an escape. It is a story of a man saved by
people who care enough about him to work hard at bringing about a
change of heart and mind. So in all, these three stories are about
recovery through discovery. There is some sadness involved here,
lots of action and adventure, but there's also some humor . . . and
for sure there's a message in each story.
