"Boren has a gift for locating the gist of any situation by zeroing in on a seemingly irrelevant vignette. Who else would notice Black-eyed Susans with most of their petals gone, languishing on the ground near a lovesick cowboy? She loves me...she loves me not...she loves me! Good news indeed for a bashful cowboy in need of some courage." (Michael Duty & Suzanne Deats, WESTERN TRADITIONS)
