Once Upon a Cowboy

By Pamela Tracy

Description:

A bull-riding injury has sent Joel McCreedy crashing—literally—into his tiny Iowa hometown. But the last thing the prodigal son wants is to stay. On top of a bruised head and ego, he has relationships to mend and a reputation to clear. And then there’s lovely Beth Armstrong, his nephews’ teacher, who’s willing to give them all lessons in family and forgiveness. But Joel isn’t the dutiful “family first” man Beth deserves. Or is he? Suddenly, instead of wrangling bulls he’s helping with homework. And instead of craving his next win, he’s determined to be Beth’s once-in-a-lifetime love.

Book Takeaway:

It's never too late to try again.

Why the author wrote this book:

I was sitting in church and the minister was talking about the prodigal son. I've heard the lesson many, many times. But, this time, the minister was talking about the word prodigal, saying it didn't mean long gone but meant excessive waste... my mind starting working.
