The first time I threw a man, I didn't know I was supposed to.
Holbrook is a bucking bull. Born on a ranch in eastern Arizona, he discovers early that his body knows something his mind hasn't caught up to yet - a violent, instinctive refusal to carry anything on his back. What follows is a life lived at full force: the futurity circuit, the championship arenas, the riders who become rivals, the quiet man who named him and fed him gummy bears, and the slow reckoning with a body that has given everything and is beginning to send the bill.
Told entirely in Holbrook's voice, this is a novel about purpose, aging, and what it means to be made for one thing - and then to find out you were made for something else too.
From the author of The Round Valley Kid comes a new series. Holbrook, Arena Lives book one.
