Description - Falling from Horses by Molly Gloss
In 1938, nineteen-year-old ranch hand Bud Frazer sets out for Hollywood, his sights set on becoming a stunt rider in the movies-and rubbing shoulders with the great screen cowboys of his youth. On the long bus ride south from Echol Creek, Bud meets a young woman who also harbors dreams of making it in the movies, not as a starlet but as a writer. Lily Shaw is bold and outspoken, more confident than her small frame and bookish looks seem to allow. The two strike up an unlikely kinship that will carry them through their tumultuous days in Hollywood. Through the wide eyes and lofty dreams of two people trying to make their mark on the world, Molly Gloss weaves a remarkable tale of humans and horses, hope and heartbreak, told by one of the most winning narrators ever to walk off the page. AUTHOR: Molly Gloss is the best-selling author 'The Hearts of Horses', 'The Jump-Off Creek', winner of both the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award and the Oregon Book Award, 'The Dazzle of Day', winner of the PEN Center West Fiction Prize, and 'Wild Life', winner of the James Tiptree Jr. Award.
