Winner of the 2008 Western Heritage Award, Jackalope Dreams plays out against the mythology of the Old West--a powerful amalgam of ranching history, Marlboro Men, and train robbery reenactments. This story of the newly orphaned, spinsterish Corey is a sometimes comical, sometimes poignant tale of coming-of-age a little late. As she tries to recapture an old dream of becoming a painter--of preserving some modicum of true art amid the virtual reality of modern Montana--Corey finds herself figuring in other dramas as well, other, younger lives already at least as lost as her own.
