| Synopsis: | From the author of "The Ranch Next Door and Other Stories" come six more short stories exploring the joys, heartaches and laughter of life against the backdrop of the Old West. In �Single-Handed,� a gunfighter�s courage comes in doubt when he refuses to explain to his friends the real reason he backed down from a fight. The capable proprietress of the busiest eating-house in town handles a day of disasters large and small in the light-hearted �The Rush at Mattie Arnold�s,� while in �Room Service,� a hotel night clerk finds himself in on odd position after he allows an exhausted traveler to stay in a reserved room. And in the title story, the novella-length �Wanderlust Creek,� a young rancher and his wife struggle to hold onto their land and their dreams in the face of adversity from weather, enemies�and even doubts of each other. Approximately 53,000 words. |
