Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country — by Pam Houston

Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country — by Pam Houston
Wow! This book was worth the wait. Houston’s first book Cowboys Are My Weakness had a profound impact on me when it came out in 1993 for its descriptions of her wilderness travels and what her personal take-aways were. In Deep Creek, with 5% down and owner carry, Houston bought a 120 acre ranch in the remote Colorado Rockies. And it looks to me like she spent the ensuing years earning enough to pay it off. The juggling act includes teaching writing at UC Davis, lecturing, teaching workshops, traveling, and taking care of her animals and the land she so clearly loves. Through these interconnected essays Houston shares her dreadful childhood, acknowledges the people who helped her along the way, and tells some great ranch stories; particularly Eating Phoebe which I read with a ‘ya can’t make this stuff up’ chuckle in my head. Pam Houston knows how to tell her story. And this is a good one. By Carol Lloyd — who sends this dispatch from vacation where she is reading up, finding great books for us to read.
