商品簡介
Only Jim Harrison’s wife could save him now, but she had no use for Lee and was about to divorce Jim…
Somebody left Lee Estes in charge of the Walker place while the trainers are on the road and he manages to lose a champion cutting horse scheduled to be picked up by a buyer. The unsophisticated buyer only wants Lady Joe as a trophy horse to impress guests in his back yard, so Lee buys a cheap no-talent blue roan replacement to save his job. When the buyer tells him to enter her in a weekend cutting for photographs, Lee must scramble to find a blue roan cutter to substitute for his bogus horse.
By chance, the only one around belongs to Jim Harrison’s wife, who has no use for Lee and is about to divorce Jim.
Jim adores Francine and Lee persuades him the missing horse is an opportunity to win back his wife. Things unravel from there and go completely haywire when the boys take to the road only to discover Lee’s ideas fraught with unforeseen complications that land them in deep horse and women trouble.
This mischievous tale of California horse country offers an affectionate glimpse at the sport of cutting and makes a trenchant comment on the future of the horse in a world where it is no longer essential to everyday life. Goodreads says, “This sweet tale is both comic and heart-gripping."
