Roses and Locoweed: The Life of a Cowboy's Wife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)this book is so much fun. It's a hard hitting look at life on ranches, with cowboys, and cowgirls who ride alongside the guys, rain, shine, cold, mud, or scorching heat. then they go home, cook dinner, bake bread, take care of the babies, and start all over again the next day. All without insurance, payback, or fancy vacation time. Wow, a reminder that a city girl might not want to manage that kind of life, but gosh, it's so down to earth that it is 'tempting'. So many georgeous sunsets, great horses, handsome cowboys...who can resist.

Waylon Jennings sings that cowboy's aint easy to love. He might have used the words: A cowboy's life aint easy to love. Freia Hooper-Bradford chronicles a life few wives are privileged to share. She couldn't have guessed what life would be like with a cowboy when she was a young woman, starry eyed and in love with a cowboy who looked like he just walked off the page in coffee table book about the Wild West. Being the wife a cowboy was everything she had dreamed about when she was a horse-crazy teenager. But life wasn't all roses, there was lots of locoweed. Along with the romantic west, the good horses, thrilling rides and living on God's most beautiful acres, there were the tough times. The vagabond life moving from ranch to ranch, always in search of greener pastures, better ridin', more ropin' and maybe an extra hundred dollars for the paycheck. There were the bad bosses, working in forty below and living in sagging old ranch houses. Freia chronicles the years following her cowboy with a sense of humor and poignancy. She accurately recounts the bad, tough times as well as the good life and the romantic west.
