When in Doubt, Step on the Gas A Ragged Memoir

Sophie Burden was raised on Remuda Ranch, an historic dude ranch established by her family outside of Wickenburg, Arizona. She could soon ride better than her unsteady toddler legs could walk. Her young, busy parents gave her and her brothers free rein by default, resulting in a wild, unconventional childhood. Sophie married Dom Echeverria, a Basque who proved passionate, loving...and explosive. Their life together took them to the high Andes of Peru, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming, where they ran one of the largest ranching operations in the West. Three of their eight children died of cystic fibrosis. Alternately funny and tragic, "When in Doubt, Step on the Gas" is a remarkable memoir you will find difficult to put down.
