Lost
“These tales are enlivened at every turn by the author’s obvious affection for today’s cowboy, 'a blend of renaissance man, pioneer, jack-of-all-trades, and good ole boy.’ He colorfully renders the atmosphere and details of ranch life, and although the author makes sure to closely link Clint’s personal story to broader recovery-philosophy generalities, he does so with a light touch that makes for smooth reading. This has the effect of humanizing Clint and grounding his story of personal discovery.
A skillful combination of modern-day cowboy tale and substance-abuse parable.”
Kirkus Reviews
“…Roy Clinton explores the issue of addiction and recovery through a really thoughtful and entertaining western….”
“…a great help to anyone--especially an addict.”
“Awesome book!”
“…a great read for anyone suffering from addiction or someone wanting to understand the internal struggles of addiction….”
“This book is a must read for anyone in addiction recovery….”
Originally published under the title Clint's Journey Home, Lost follows Clint Hazard, a modern day cowboy who believes he was born 150 years too late. He loses his truck, his marriage, his son, his friends, and faces the loss of job and a term in prison.
He struggles with habits that threaten to derail his life. His journey is aided by watching the change that takes place in his best friend who took the same journey about a year before him.
For a man with seemingly unlimited potential, Clint succeeds in making an absolute mess of his life. But he finds hope….
Be sure to read the other novels by Roy Clinton. These are set in the old west.

Clint Hazard is a misunderstood man. Clint thought of himself as a man’s man, a cowboy’s cowboy, he was as macho as they came. Micah, Clint’s best friend, had quit his drinking and carousing, beginning his recovery by attending AA. Micah’s life began a positive change, and people noticed. As Clint observed the changes in Micah and noticed the other ranch hands responding to him, Clint began to think he wanted to be more like Micah. The more Clint observed and talked to Micah, the more Clint realized his shortcomings. He wanted to change but it was always “just one more”. He lacked the discipline needed to make the changes. We follow Clint’s triumphs and failures as he attempts to change his life for the better. Not quite what I was expecting but it’s an interesting tale.

Interesting book on one mans journey
I don’t normally read books like this. I was quite surprised to find a book about modern day cowboys working on ranches so interesting.
