Sophie Burden was raised on an historic dude ranch outside of
Wickenburg, Arizona. She married Dom Echeverria, a Basque who
proved both loving and explosive. Their life took them to the high
Andes of Peru, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming, where they ran
one of the largest ranching operations in the West. When Dom
unexpectedly dies young, Sophie carries on "disirregardless,"
raising their tribe of teenagers and running the family business as
she simultaneously auditions a parade of suitors. Alternately
tragic, touching and downright funny, The McCarty Canyon Wild Bunch
is a rollicking account of the mayhem, magic and mischief that
ensues. A wonderful stand-alone read, this final book in the
Echeverria trilogy will have you eagerly visiting the bookstore for
When in Doubt, Step on the Gas and Look Both Ways Before Breaking
to the Law-the first and second parts of the author's memoir-to
relish what precipitated the unconventional lives and behavior of
the aptly named McCarty Canyon Wild Bunch.
Sophie Burden was raised on an historic dude ranch outside of
Wickenburg, Arizona. She married Dom Echeverria, a Basque who
proved both loving and explosive. Their life took them to the high
Andes of Peru, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming, where they ran
one of the largest ranching operations in the West and raised eight
children. Alternately funny and tragic, you will find her
remarkable memoir difficult to put down. Part II of her story, Look
Both Ways Before Breaking the Law, delves into what happens to the
family when Dom unexpectedly dies; the second of Sophie's children
succumbs to cystic fibrosis after a life-long battle; and the
oldest children marry and begin lives of their own. The family's
courage-and outright shenanigans-are unmatched. A wonderful
stand-alone read, Look Both Ways will have you running to the
bookstore for Part I: When in Doubt, Step on the Gas. I strongly
believe the term rip-snorting was created to describe the
Echeverria clan. The second volume of this family saga is just as
funny, sad, tragic, and life-affirming as the first. The story is
amazing and Sophie is the writer to match it. -Tim Sandlin
