Barn Yarns: Tales from the Wynema Ranch
Hunter is only 3-1/2 years old and loves to talk to the animals. Sometimes (he says), they talk back. Grandpa and Grandma love him so much, they humor him.
But outside forces and wild animals have been preying on the ranch. Leon and Hootch, two of the dogs on the ranch, face a difficult challenge. Will they survive? Can Hunter’s ability to “talk to the animals” help them when they need it?
Author, Eddie Floyd, captures the ranch lifestyle so you feel like you’re smelling the fresh air and farm animals all at the same time. Leon and Hootch are endearing characters you learn to love as much as Grandma and Grandpa do.

Gem: An American Story
By Dennis Hill
During the Missouri-Kansas Conflict in 1854 and the horror and chaos of the border conflicts during and before the civil war, two orphan children are thrust together and do their best to survive and build a life.
1935 A Small Ranch in Northern California
But maybe this story isn't about them or the civil war at all. Maybe it's how their lives and times helped shape a boy not even born in the same century.
DENNIS HILL worked on the mountain in Sun Valley, Idaho, packed mules and was a big gameguide in Montana. He wrote his first book, I Never Got to Meet Joe Back based on his
time as a guide. Hill grew up in Nevada, rode bucking horses (poorly), spent some time wandering around Europe and even helped build atomic bombs at the test site outside of Las Vegas.
After finishing his first book, he wrote Out in the Sagebrush, “A good cowboy yarn”. Gem: An American Story, was the result of research of the conflict between Missouri and Kansas and his desire to continue storytelling, something he enjoys doing from his home in Reno, Nevada with his wife, Margaret on a little place with horses, cows and border collies.
