Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling classic frontier adventure novel that inspired two award-winning films! Charles Portis has long been acclaimed as one of America’s foremost writers. True Grit, his most famous novel, was first published in 1968, and became the basis for two movies, the 1969 classic starring John Wayne and, in 2010, a new version starring Academy Award® winner Jeff Bridges and written and directed by the Coen brothers. True Grit tells the story of Mattie Ross, who is just fourteen when the coward Tom Chaney shoots her father down in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and robs him of his life, his horse, and $150 in cash. Mattie leaves home to avenge her father’s blood. With one-eyed Rooster Cogburn, the meanest available U.S. Marshal, by her side, Mattie pursues the killer into Indian Territory. True Grit is eccentric, cool, straight, and unflinching, like Mattie herself. From a writer of true status, this is an American classic through and through.

Book Description
COWBOY GRIT is Book One in the Cowboy Creek series by Author Savannah McCann. Cowboy Creek is a close-knit small Northeast Texas town located amid several cattle and horse ranches and is where some of the hottest cowboys in Texas can be found. The cowboys of Cowboy Creek are loyal, competitive in rodeo, strong-willed, and live by a cowboy code as old as time; they love their women with all they have and with a slow hand. Follow the cowboys of Cowboy Creek as their lives unfold onto pages of each and every book in the series with comedy, love, tragedy, and more. The Cowboy Creek series has romance, humor, and suspense. Mildly erotic. Fall in love with the characters in book one while you laugh your boots off at Darby's crazy shenanigans and Chase's desperate escape routes! "What the heck does a city girl like you want with a cowboy like me anyhow?" Chase Gray is an upcoming Texas team roper with his best friend since middle school Luke Granger. Justin Boots and Wrangler have recently endorsed the pair, and they've set out to widen their rodeo events across their home state of Texas along with several other states in hopes of making it to the championships. After a rodeo in Amarillo, Texas, they stop at a bar for a drink with fellow team ropers to celebrate their winnings when the cowboys notice a bachelorette party is taking place, and the pretty ladies have caught their undivided attention. The group of cowboys decides to congratulate the bride-to-be sending a round of whiskey shots to the women hoping for a dance or two. Chase didn't realize his best buddy Granger secretly sets him up with a city girl from Dallas named Darby. They are polar opposites which Granger finds humorous. After a night of drinking shot for shot Chase wakes up in a rundown motel room with a pretty redhead lying next to him. He panics, jumps out of bed, pulls on his boots, quickly puts on his cowboy hat, grabs his Wranglers, swings open the motel room door, and bolts across the parking lot in his boxer briefs! Indulge yourself into this hilariously funny romantic comedy about a city girl who falls head over heels for a cowboy that has nothing in common with her other than a one-night stand he can barely remember. Still, Darby has unequivocally dedicated herself to winning the sexy cowboy's heart and trying her hands at country life in rural Texas.

Book Description
“His stories are timeless lessons of living, loving, and learning the Western way of life that will inspire all generations.” —Stuart Rosebrook, author of At Work in Arizona If you’re served a piece of humble pie, thank the server and choke it down. So says H. Alan Day, an award-winning author and American cowboy, who grew up on a 200,000-acre southwestern cattle ranch, made a hand at age five, and lived adventures most of us only witness on Netflix. While interacting with cowhands, horses, and the land, Alan learned valuable life lessons about loyalty, trust, humility, forgiveness, persistence, failure, innovation, and success. Now, this cowboy is ready to share his hard-earned wisdom with those who may never own or even ride a horse, much less rope a cow, train a wild mustang, or witch a well, but who, like Alan, contend day-in and day-out with the true grit of life. Cowboy Up! is a collection of thirty-five personal stories narrated by Alan Day in his authentic western voice. These stories touch on topics that affect us all: friendship, family, business, politics, community, and conservation. As Alan learned early on, a true friend has your back for life, whether that friend has two legs or four legs. If you don’t learn to listen, you may end up swinging from your suspenders on a bunkhouse hook; and if your pickup is about to get washed away in a flash flood, you better do some quick, two-step thinking. Alan’s stories not only explore what it means to be human, they evoke laughter, disbelief, wonder, joy, and more than a few heartfelt tears.

Book Description
"Grit opens with a quiet devastation reserved for transcendent realms of human experience-the act of becoming in a world that is not prepared for your existence. Silas' words dart in and out like a scalpel revealing layers of flesh that have been given-or taken-by lovers, parents, cruelty, and fate. If you could hold what it means to be an outsider in your hand, and kiss all of its wounds you would begin to understand Grit. But know that holding Silas, in this volume, is to be laid out in a field of snow dressed in black, with blood dripping from the corner of your mouth, laughing."- Sean Felix, author of Did You Even Know I Was Here?Grit is more than a collection of poetry by the hand of a gifted young author. Grit is a transgender coming of age story. There are no beautiful rainbows here, no whispers, but raw cries from somewhere primal.

Book Description
A new approach to business ethics is quietly taking hold in executive suites and corporate boardrooms across America. Frustrated by an epidemic of misbehavior at all employee levels, management teams are getting back to basics—back to the idea that personal character and individual responsibility are the ultimate keys to integrity, just as they were back in the days of the Open Range. A decade ago, the book Cowboy Ethics first inspired businesspeople to look to the Code of the West. Once they did, they discovered that its simple, common-sense principles can be more effective guides to business leadership than a truckload of corporate mission statements, rules, and ethics manuals. “Cowboys are role models because they live by a code,” says author James P. Owen. “They show us what it means to stand for something, and to strive every day to make your actions line up with your beliefs. And isn’t that as good a definition of integrity as you can find?” In the years since, the book’s “Ten Principles to Live By” have been embraced by scores of companies, universities, and even a state government. This updated Tenth Anniversary hardcover edition traces the evolution of this grassroots business movement in brand-new chapters while preserving the inspirational lessons and stunning photography of the original. It’s ideal for corporate gifts, the new graduate, business students, or any career person who cares about doing the right thing.
