This captivating true-life story tells one woman's experience on a guest ranch high in the Rocky Mountains during the 1960s and '70s. Joanne Brand introduces you to the other side of the world-renowned ski resort of Aspen, Colorado--not all glitz and glamour, but the year-round struggles of rustic mountain living against the backdrop of an exploding new culture sweeping the country. She shares her adventures with antique wood-burning stoves, horses, snowmobiles, tourists and even an occasional celebrity celebrity and film crew. Her family was involved in mountain rescues, challenged by belligerent cross-country skiers, and braved terrifying fires. Many clashes with rebellious hippies brought the author's feistiness and conflicts came with threats.This book explains how one woman came through that era with a more open mind, yet maintained her values. It also depicts her deep appreciation and love for the majestic Rocky Mountains. At every turn of the pages, you experience humor as well as serious situation that will compel you to read more.
