Taking Chances: A Good Story to Tell

What if ...? In this freewheeling and heartfelt memoir of a colorful and adventurous life lived in pursuit of that very question Daryl The Kid Shaffer shares tales-some taller than others-of his life as a modern cowboy in the Montana wilds. The adventures he shared with true friends inspired the cowboy to become an author. Based on his journals and memories he shares his favorite tales from his life on the range. His real-life transformation into the hero figure of his childhood began on a whim. When a beautiful young woman shares a want ad with him his imagination is momentarily engaged. But in the style of young men he quickly forgets about the fateful ad that offered a job working as a ranch hand in Montana. Months later that same scrap of paper found its way back into his imagination. And with a single phone call his cowboy life began. With a spirit of adventure matched only by his sense of humor his tales are a vicarious trip to a time and place most have only dreamed of.
