These tales are enlivened at every turn by the author's obvious affection for today's cowboy, 'a blend of renaissance man, pioneer, jack-of-all-trades, and good ole boy.' He colorfully renders the atmosphere and details of ranch life, and although the author makes sure to closely link Clint's personal story to broader recovery-philosophy generalities, he does so with a light touch that makes for smooth reading. This has the effect of humanizing Clint and grounding his story of personal discovery.
A skillful combination of modern-day cowboy tale and substance-abuse parable.

Originally published under the title Clint's Journey Home, Lost follows Clint Hazard, a modern day cowboy who believes he was born 150 years too late. He loses his truck, his marriage, his son, his friends, and faces the loss of job and a term in prison.
He struggles with habits that threaten to derail his life. His journey is aided by watching the change that takes place in his best friend who took the same journey about a year before him.
For a man with seemingly unlimited potential, Clint succeeds in making an absolute mess of his life. But he finds hope....
Be sure to read the other novels by Roy Clinton. These are set in the old west.
