The split sky : a journey of discovery in Utah's Nine Mile Canyon
(Book)

The Split Sky is a true story about the soaring, invincible spirit of youth. It's the delightfully amusing tale of an innocent, sixteen-year-old boy who finagles a summer job as a cowboy on a large cattle ranch in Eastern Utah in 1963. It's a story about open spaces, unexplored canyons and Indian ruins, a mountain lion chained to a barrel and an ocean of hay. It's about horses, dogs, wild animals, ghosts, snakes, grumpy old men and pretty girls. It's about growing up, overcoming adversity and learning to walk tall. It's a powerful story, told with delectable humor, sharp wit, and deep emotion.
