However, she faces many challenges, including a neighboring rancher who wants to take over her land, and a group of rustlers who are stealing her cattle. With the help of a handsome cowboy named Belllounds, Jean fights to protect her ranch and her livelihood. Along the way, she learns about love, loyalty, and the true meaning of hard work. This book is a classic example of the western genre, with its vivid descriptions of life on the ranch and its themes of courage and perseverance.1915. With frontispiece by Douglas Duer. Bower authored several Westerns including Cabin Fever and The Flying U Ranch. This book Without going into a deep, psychological discussion of the elements in men's souls that breed events, we may say with truth that the Lazy A ranch was as other ranches in the smooth tenor of its life until one day in June, when the finger of fate wrote bold and black across the face of it the word that blotted out prosperity, content, war family ties, -all those things that go to make life worth while.

Bertha Muzzy Sinclair or Sinclair-Cowan, née Muzzy, best known by her pseudonym B. M. Bower, was an American author who wrote novels, fictional short stories, and screenplays about the American Old West. Her works, featuring cowboys and cows of the Flying R Ranch in Montana, reflected "an interest in ranch life, the use of working cowboys as main characters (even in romantic plots), the occasional appearance of eastern types for the sake of contrast, a sense of western geography as simultaneously harsh and grand, and a good deal of factual attention to such matters as cattle branding and bronc busting. Born Bertha Muzzy in Otter Tail County, MN and living her early years in Big Sandy, Montana, she was married three times: to Clayton Bower, in 1890; to Bertrand William Sinclair,(also a Western author) in 1912; and to Robert Elsworth Cowan, in 1921. Bower's 1912 novel Lonesome Land was praised in The Bookman magazine for its characterization. She wrote 57 Western novels, several of which were turned into films.
