Blue Roan Patti Hudson

Paroled from federal prison, Rusty Ranahan runs from one troubled past right into another when she returns to her embittered father's Eastern Oregon ranch. Exiled to a remote miner's shack, she rekindles her taste for whiskey and turmoil as things increasingly spiral out of control for Rusty and the abused horse she's supposed to break. Both are hell-bent on self-destruction, until the unexpected wisdom of a mysterious old stable hand offers to change their course. But first they have to confront their deepest fears. Set in the final days of the twentieth century against a rugged, high desert backdrop, Blue Roan is a story of hard-earned redemption, friendship and family in the changing West.
