Staff Reviews
The sun sets over the desert hills, a red sun burning low on the horizon. Two boys astride their horses ride towards the setting sun. Their backs are turned on their home, their faces open to the life they seek over the border. The farther they travel the more they will experience. The more they will grow through pain and dire times, as they traverse the steep hill that is life. Two boys, two horses, and the land they seek to travel to. Travel with the boys as they make their way to Mexico in hopes of finding work and a new life. A tale of cowboys, horses, death, murder, love, and loss.
