University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2013. Softcover. Brand new book. The much-awaited sequel to the author's award-winning memoir When I Came West. When twenty-eight-year-old Laurie Wagner hired on at the O Bar Y Ranch in western Wyoming she was a novice to ranching life but no stranger to isolated locations. As revealed in her celebrated memoir When I Came West Laurie had already spent years in a rustic cabin in the Montana wilderness with a troubled Vietnam veteran. Rough Breaks recounts the next chapter in her life beginning with her painful break from Bill Atkinson and unfolding into a modern-day saga of life on a remote cattle ranch. Written in the author's trademark lyrical style Rough Breaks is based on the diaries Laurie kept for nearly six years as she lived and worked on the O Bar Y. Central to the story is Mick Buyer a cowman stubbornly committed to holding onto his beautiful piece of land in the Wyoming high country and continuing the way of life he learned from his father and grandfather. As his marriage begins to fail Mick and Laurie develop an increasing affection for each other even as she also becomes close to his wife their children and neighboring ranchers. With grace and wit Buyer evokes the joys and travails of life on a ranch�cutting and baling hay repairing old vehicles and machinery fixing fences birthing calves tending to beaver dams and elk herds and struggling to pay the mortgage and endless veterinary bills. In the spirited tradition of Teresa Jordan and Mary Clearman Blew Rough Breaks is a uniquely honest and heartfelt contribution to the realm of memoir by contemporary women ranchers. Laurie Wagner Buyer an award-winning novelist and poet is the author of several works including Across the High Divide and Side Canyons. When she is not hiking in the high country or on the road leading workshops she resides in Llano Texas. "Buyer's work on a high country ranch during several years with brutal winters demanded extraordinary dedication. Yet despite the hardships she found love in the land and its people discovering the power to write movingly and with astonishing intimacy about her difficult life."� Linda M.
