Book excerpt: Miles circled the date on the calendar for the bull riding benefit that he had agreed to participate in with a sigh. He had already been wondering how long he could continue to make a living riding green-broke horses five days a week and rodeoing weekends, but it was all he knew. He did take heart that he had been able to stash back quite a bit of money lately with a good clientele wanting their horses broke, plus hed been on a winning streak at the rodeos, but, he knew, that could change in a minute. Miles Deroin starts out with one goal for the summer, and that is winning amateur rodeos calf roping championship. He has the talent, the want, and the horse that can get him there, but luck is another matter. Luck, however, can be what you make it, and Miles has always had a knack for making the best of whatever comes his way. But as Miles rodeo season unfolds he finds it a trip peppered with almost as many slumps as there are wins. And, making matters worse, after bumping into an old acquaintance, he comes to discover there is a bit more on the line than just winning a gold buckle. Living a simple life doesnt necessarily mean life is going to be simple. Just ask Miles Deroin.
