Cowgirl's Guide to Life

Straight talk from the lassoin’ lady—from knowing the best time to hold your tongue to using the right bait when you’re fishing for compliments.

This sassy cowgirl and her sidekick cowboy partner capture the feminine perspective on life. This common-sense wisdom in humorous form is all about living and loving. Women will laugh about it—from the boardroom to the suburban book club. Gems include:“It is better to be a widower’s second wife than his first.”“If you’re fixin’ to get yourself a good stallion, don’t go lookin’ in the donkey corral.”“High steppers give bumpy rides.”“If you’ve done it, it ain’t braggin’.”“Always say ‘please’ when you tell somebody to shut up.”
