You got any brothers? I got five. Thing is, they ain't really mine. They done comed with the rustlin' charges. Ya know, if'n a fellah's gonna get hit with a life sentence, he really oughta be guilty. Me? I din't steal no cattle, no matter what them townsfolk say. I got troubles a-plenty without annexin' nobody's beef. In this fine territory of Utah- New Mexico?- well, whichever side-a the border ya currently straddle, perveyin' secondhand livestock's a mighty fine way to get your neck stretched. Then again, there's days when a-sittin' in a jail cell'd be a whole heap easier'n livin' with the Rivers.
Intelligent and witty, INDEBTED is insightful in a way that holds true not only for its loosely American West setting, but for today's coffee drinking Joe as well. This descriptive story is told with a 'sitting right beside you on the couch' feeling. INDEBTED is a 'clean' read for adults to about the high school level. Quirky & fun, this is the the author's favorite 'Rivers'.
#2, but series can be read in any order.
