Book Reviews of Horse of a Different Color: Reminiscences of a Kansas Drover
Book Review: Timeless values in overcoming difficulties. A wounderful family book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ralph Moody's books are a national treasure demonstrating life at the end of an era while teaching timeless values in an enjoyable and appealing fashion. Almost all of Ralph Moody's books have that "read aloud" feel so rare in literature disigned for families. Told in the first person he tells his story simply with feeling and often some well placed humor.
In this volume Ralph is drawn into the Cattle/livestock business and unwittingly forms a partnership that leaves him unbelievably in debt. Ever resourceful Ralph rebuilds a new business and works to overcome his turn of bad luck.
This is a wounderful story whose enjoyment will be enhanced by reading the other books in the series first as this in the last book.
