Shepherd's SonBy Terry W. BurnsDescription:
Jay Mendelson's father died and the only way Jay and his mother can keep their ranch is to switch from raising cattle to herding sheep. Jay isn't happy with the change at first, but to his surprise he finds he doesn't mind the wooly creatures at all. But this is cattle country and the local ranchers don't want sheep for neighbors. Led by Blake Johnson, who practically runs the town and surrounding country, the ranchers are determined to get rid of the hated sheep. They don't have anything against Jay, but if he gets in the way,it's his tough luck. Book Takeaway:Anything is possible if we can get past stereotypes and prejudices and reach across traditional boundries Why the author wrote this book:Classic theme - sheep in cow country - but what happens when the villan gets saved half way through the book and it takes on a whole new life of its own? |
