Cowboys and Kisses

Written by Karin Kallmaker

Narrated by Ann Shanks Etter

A one-way stage ticket to the frontier leaves a young woman penniless and alone in Long Grass, Wyoming. With no other hope than to survive another day, she takes up the only profession open to her. Years later she encounters the cowboy she can love, and her first taste of pleasure - and happiness.

Cowboys, however, are born to wander, and their kisses are as brief as the lives of young women without family or means. Accepting that her days will be numbered too few, Darlin' escapes into her scribblings where her dreams of freedom can soar over the limitless prairie.

When she recognizes her own truth and a chance for love in the longing gaze of a townswoman, will she finally find kisses she can trust?

Two determined women in a hostile world save themselves — and each other — in a lyric, sensual love story as only Karin Kallmaker can tell.

"It’s an astonishing story, beautifully told. And Darlin’s voice is enchanting. The close first-person narration works like a charm – she feels like a living, breathing person. Somebody with grit and heart. It’s impossible not to cheer Darlin’ on. Never has a fictional character’s Happily Ever After delighted me more." - Lou Morgan's Reviews

[Uchechi Adiuku · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Such a vivid picture painted. Thank you Ms Kallmaker for making us think about the frontier women, especially gay ones, and how they survived that era. So grateful for these women courage and strength! Paving the way…..to acceptance (within and without).
