Description

A spoiled, troublemaking city kid is ripped from his easy urban life at a college prep boarding school and forced to spend his summer working on a Montana ranch during the turbulent 1960s. He makes mistake after mistake with the valuable equipment, his fellow hired hands, and the stock-keeping Roy teetering on the edge of being fired. First love, Laura, the rancher's daughter, is a 16-year-old's dream come true. Instead of hitchhiking home Roy keeps trying - slowly coming to terms with what he was and what he wants to be. Roy finds acceptance and finally even respect from the rancher, his family, and the other hands. Out West is a coming of age story about how a boy learns to be a man during a self-awakening forced by hard work, responsibility, and the love of a good woman.

Author Biography:

James E. Marshall, Jr., 1947-2009, was a long time resident of Bisbee, Arizona. Jim grew up in Evergreen, CO. He graduated from Colorado Academy in 1965 and attended Menlo Junior College, Palo Alto, CA, and the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO. After spending his junior year traveling in Europe he returned home to work in the family business, JN Marshall Company, Inc. for a few years. Always a dreamer, and with a love of the old west, Jim moved to Bisbee, AZ, where he spent the rest of his life reading, writing and working at odd jobs. His literary legacy is extensive, although mostly unpublished, including several novels and many poems, short stories and essays. His charm and sense of humor will be missed by his family and friends.
