Things You Can’t Learn From Books 

In my new book, Return to Marker Ranch, Wade Hoffman is home from war, back on the family ranch, trying to figure out how to raise cattle. You’d think someone raised on a ranch wouldn’t have to learn too much about how to be a rancher. But Marker Ranch wasn’t an ordinary ranch. It was hideout for criminals, a meth lab, and a storage facility for the stolen property that Wade’s father and older brothers hid there. 

Wade stayed out of the family crime business. Now that he’s out of the army and his father and brothers have made a new life in Mexico, he’s back in his hometown, ready to turn Marker Ranch into a legitimate ranch. 

The trouble is, he has no idea what he’s doing. So he reads books. A whole lot of books. And they’re great books. He learns a ton about cattle. But he quickly realizes there are a many things a book can’t teach you. Things like: 

· How to site a well so you don’t swipe your neighbor’s water. 

· How to make amends with that neighbor when she’s furious. 

· How to form coherent sentences when that neighbor is someone you’ve loved since you were kids. 

· How to compromise when you’re terrified of failing. 

· How to hide the PTSD that’s tearing you apart inside. 

· How to ask her for her help. 

· How to act strong, when you feel so weak. 

· How to be strong, when she needs help from you. 

Wade has a lot to learn, and his journey to knowledge is a bumpy, bittersweet ride. I hope you’ll read his story. It’s been an emotional one to write and I’ve loved every moment. And thank you for joining me here today!
