Girl from New Hope

About the Book

"There is an authenticity in John Duncklee's voice that you don't often find in other writers of the American West today. His characters are as lively as a wild mustang stallion, and as unpredictable as the weather. If you love a good story, treat yourself to John Duncklee.

Johnny D. Boggs, Award Winning Author and recipient of the Western Heritage Wrangler and Spur-awards.

"Grab the halter strap and hang on tight. Samantha Haggarty is an eastern gal newly arrived in the West. How she parlays beauty and common sense into a successful horse racing career and finds a fitting mate makes for fascinating reading."

Jim Woolard, Award Winning Author or THUNDER IN THE VALLEY

"John Duncklee molds a story like a sculptor makes a great bronze thundering hooves drum through this novel from the pen of a man who knows horse racing and makes it real a page turner."

Dusty Richards, Award Winning Author of THE NATURAL and 2005 American Cowboy Culture writer of the year.
