Antelope Sky - Paperback

by John D. Nesbitt (Author)

Antelope Sky: Stories of the Modern West

Here is a world of sky and sage, dust and rain, horses and saddles, pickups and gun racks-where the wild roses bloom in springtime and the wild geese fly in winter.

This is a world where men and women meet, or separate, or have a drink somewhere in between, as they sort out their pasts and try to remake the present.
