Where Coyotes Howl

By Sandra Dallas

Book Overview

Now a Denver Post bestseller

"Addictive. Highly recommended "--Paulette Jiles, New York Times bestselling author of News of the World

Beautifully rendered, Where Coyotes Howl is a vivid and deeply affecting ode to the early twentieth century West, from master storyteller Sandra Dallas.

Except for the way they loved each other, they were just ordinary, everyday folks. Just ordinary.

1916. The two-street town of Wallace is not exactly what Ellen Webster had in mind when she accepted a teaching position in Wyoming, but within a year's time she's fallen in love--both with the High Plains and with a handsome cowboy named Charlie Bacon. Life is not easy in the flat, brown corner of the state where winter blizzards are unforgiving and the summer heat relentless. But Ellen and Charlie face it all together, their relationship growing stronger with each shared success, and each deeply felt tragedy.

Ellen finds purpose in her work as a rancher's wife and in her bonds with other women settled on the prairie. Not all of them are so lucky as to have loving husbands, not all came to Wallace willingly, and not all of them can survive the cruel seasons. But they look out for each other, share their secrets, and help one another in times of need. And the needs are great and constant. The only city to speak of, Cheyenne, is miles away, making it akin to the Wild West in rural Wallace. In the end, it is not the trials Ellen and Charlie face together that make them remarkable, but their love for one another that endures through it all.

Customer Reviews

Historical Fiction

This is a Hard-Hitting Historical Fiction. I listened to the first ten chapters of this book from an e-audiobook, and I read the last part of this book by reading the e-kindle book. I found the narrator of this book to be easy to listen to. I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, and I got pulled into this story and those characters very fast. I found the middle of this book to be slow moving and some parts of this book were not need. I feel like some parts just kept going over the same things. I did really enjoy the ending of this book. I love a historical fiction have really hard-hitting parts, and this book as not in the middle and the ending. This book as some parts that is very hard to read and could trigger some readers. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
