Praise for this book

"It's this generational snapshot of young men who returned from war, scarred and complex and to a rapidly industrializing rural West, that forms The Hi Lo Country's dark, intriguing heart. The rest of the novel's gravy is in its careful attention to the highs and lows of the land, a lovingly drawn portrait that explains the hold this capricious country has over its cowboys."--Molly Boyle, Santa Fe Reporter
"Unreservedly and enthusiastically recommended for community, college, and university library Western fiction collections."--Midwest Book Review
