A Dynamic Novel Promotes Conservation of the Land Absaroka: Where the Heart of a Soldier Meets the Land of the Crow

Raven Publishing, Inc., introduces Absaroka, celebrating not only the Day of the Horse, but also honoring the natural beauty of the land and a way of life that is being threatened. Recent efforts by the government to expand oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as well as in Montana and Wyoming wilderness areas, and the push for coalbed methane wells raise serious environmental issues. Those who would see our land and it’s wildlife protected will enjoy Joan Bochmann’s true-to-life novel. Young Matt Reed faces the challenge of saving his ranch from those who would take advantage of his family’s hardships to exploit and ravage the land. This book addresses many contemporary issues such as war, loss, conservation, protection of wild horse, and battling natural elements for survival.

(PRWEB) January 15, 2006 -- Author, Joan Bochmann emphasizes the tenacity and triumphs of the human spirit in her debut novel, Absaroka (Raven Publishing Inc., $10.00, 196 pgs. ISBN: 0-9714161-8-4).

Readers will share the emotions and reasoning of a variety of characters,including the horses’. A homesick soldier returns to the Rocking R Ranch in northern Wyoming, the home he has longed for while on the battlefields, to find it changed. His mother died of cancer while he was half a world away, so he was prepared for that grief—but not for the further losses that waited, loss of his father, and it looks like the ranch as well.
