Father and I Were Ranchers: Little Britches # 1 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" You might say this is the male version of "Little House on the Prairie." Sage and I are reading it together and we both love it. No flowery writing here, just clean fresh prose that draws you in and paints a scenery of a harsh but beautiful time. "

" This was such a good book, it is beyond words. The charcters were people you care about and the setting, in Colorado, is wonderful. The trials and tribulations of living in Colorado in the early 1900's are amazing! I don't know as I could have survived those rough years. I know I will look out for the rest of Moody's books, I want to read all of them and follow the story as the years pass. A must read. "
