When reading this book, be prepared for your emotions to run wild with you. We have Susan who has left home for the first time and travels across the country, and has a few mishaps. Then Susan has her heart set on working on a guest ranch, and comes up short. There is laughter, love, and tragedy in this story. Susan shared her experiences with you about her journey as it was totally new to her. She was born and raised on a dairy farm understood about animals, crops, the hard work involved. But she never understood the major differences with ranches, and the West. This is written by the employee's view point of what a guest ranch experience is, not the guest's. Its a light, easy read for the whole family to enjoy.
