Vendre Four Corners but Verily Only Two Choices by Russell, John NEUF

Replete with Southwestern spirit and humor, the story shares the entwined lives of the Cimarron family of the Four Corners region with their lifelong friends, the Rosas family of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Nuevo Mexico Territory of 1881 serves as the colorful backdrop in which the families embark together on adventures involving fiestas, siestas, jewelry thefts, kidnappings, horse wrangling, and of course, cowboys and cowgirls around campfires.

Sprinkled with mystery, surprises, good fun, and two leading characters--Sage and her older brother, Max Cimarron--the book is a suspenseful and inspiring read for all ages and both genders. I believe ol Zane would be proud.
