Lonesome Cowboy by
Frank Lowe is a story about a young man who must reinvent himself in order to
chase his dreams.
The story opens with Red, a singing cowboy, getting ready to
sing in a town he swore he’d never return to. He only returned because his son,
Kyle, urged him too. But Red has seen a very painful life, a life that his son
knew very little of. Kyle will soon learn the painful secret his father has
been hiding. Once Red, whose real name is David, confronts his past, it opens a
world of opportunity for his son. Kyle soon meets Miranda Romero-Durante, a beautiful
Mexican woman who works at her family’s restaurant. After a sudden tragedy, the
family is forced to return to Mexico, leaving Kyle behind to figure out a way
for his future with Miranda. He is faced with a great challenge as he is not Mexican
and Miranda’s family will look to her to carry on the family name with a
Mexican man. Will Kyle be able to find a way to build a life with Miranda?
I enjoyed this book. I thought it would be about a
struggling singer who finally makes it big but it was better than that. I loved
a line which David speaks to Kyle, “Never only means not yet,” meaning don’t
give up. I also loved the final confrontation with Miranda’s scheming aunt. It
was a great “HA! In your face!” moment. I highly recommend Lonesome Cowboy as a story of inspiration and following your
dreams.
