"I thoroughly enjoyed Across the High Lonesome-It's fresh, readable, well paced-enough nature but not too much. I like Molly and some of the guys."
Larry McMurtry, Pulitzer Prize winning author of "Lonesome Dove" |
Across the High Lonesome is a modern western odyssey that invites the reader to hitch a ride through the glacial-carved vales and over the high lonesome passes of California's "Range of Light." A journey of love, pain and adventure, brimming with unforgettable characters, salty
humor, and recalcitrant mules.
Molly Mendoza is fresh out of college and on the run from an engagement-gone-bad to her yuppie fiancé. She has no idea what awaits her when she arrives at Granite Creek Pack Station for her first summer, she only knows she is ready to find a new path in life.
Dwight Broussard is a long time packer and guide, a nineteenth-century man trying to get by in the twentieth-century. Dwight lives by a freedom loving code that keeps his relationships short and sweet, that is until he meets Molly.
Jake Tustin is the kid of the outfit. Unfortunately, trouble seems to hover over Jake like a black cloud. Whether it is crashing a truck or a string of mules, the young man appears destined for failure. Can Jake last long enough to prove himself as a packer?
