Silver Buckles
She has friends. Lives in a nice house in a swanky neighbourhood. Has to leave for university in a few weeks. Why is she on the road with a bunch of strangers?
Lindy Jones longs to connect with her birth father, but all she’s ever known about him is his name and that he rides the rodeo. Her mother refuses to talk about him except to say he has no interest in her. A chance sighting of a cowboy leaving their house on the last day of the Calgary Stampede makes her doubt that; she determines to find him that night, even though it means sneaking away. When she learns he’s already left, she falls in with a group of rodeo cowboys on their way to the next rodeo, telling herself it’s the only way she’ll ever find him.
Will she find her father? What if he really doesn’t want anything to do with her, as her mother’s been telling her all these years? And what about the young bull rider who’s winning all the silver buckles—will he win her heart?

I was so pleased to be able to read an advanced copy of this soon to be released book. It is so well written, a joy to read from the very first line. Captivating, sweet, gut-wrenching, hopeful, down to the basement sad and finally content, you will go through a full range of emotions with this book. Ms Siebert will take you skillfully into the lives and thoughts of her well developed characters. I will never get tired of her writing as long as she is able to continue to produce such artfully crafted novels.

Reading this book brought reminders of so many memories of the late 1970’s rodeo world, and of that time period in general. It was also a reminder of the fact that some folks choose non-mainstream lifestyles, and that is OK. Siebert’s well-written story of rodeo, romance and release from unhappy marriages is one that made me smile, get a bit teary-eyed, and think about it afterwards. It’s what a good book should do!
