Praise for Tough Luck "Another treat from Sandra Dallas, Tough Luck is a lighthearted story filled with adventure. I loved the tender hearted and quirky characters and I only hated that the story had to end." -- Kathleen Grissom, New York Times bestselling author of The Kitchen House and Crow Mary "Fourteen year-old Haidie is smarter than the men in her life, and she'll need every ounce of her wit and grit if she is to deliver her little brother Boots to the father who abandoned their family for the promise of gold. On prose that rides west at an easy canter, Tough Luck keeps its reader tight to the stirrups." -- John Larison, author of Whiskey When We're Dry "Haidie's unforgettable voice carries the reader along on a perilous adventure through Civil War-era America, into the untamed West, in search of Haidie's absent father. A vibrant cast of characters--muleskinners and thieves, gamblers and fallen women--lace the story with atmosphere and charm. Fans of Charles Portis and Elmore Leonard will love Tough Luck" -- Olivia Hawker, Washington Post bestselling author Praise for Where Coyotes Howl "Rich character development and memorable secondary plotlines." -- The Denver Post "A poignant love story that brings to life both the brutality and the beauty during the turn of the century in the rugged, American West.
