My Review of Tales From a Rogue Ranger : Nicole Pyles

I’m really enjoying the memoirs I have the opportunity to read through WOW! Women on Writing and that come to my blog for consideration. I love reading about someone’s unique journey through life. Today, I’m reviewing Tales From a Rogue Ranger by Rosanne McHenry.

Before we get to my review, here is more about the book:

Tales From a Rogue Ranger is full of stories that speak to the comedy and tragedy of being a park ranger: a job that is nothing like you might imagine. Set against the stunning backdrop of California’s American River Canyon, this is an engaging and wildly unusual read about the untamed life of a woman ranger. From a miner riding a mule to a young man lost in the system, these tales show the kaleidoscope of characters a park ranger encounters, giving the reader a fascinating look into a true ranger experience. Readers will laugh out loud, cry tears of sadness, and feel the greatest joy as they revel in this amazing book!

What I Thought

The author has had so many experiences in her life as a ranger. I’m so impressed! I love the blend of action and humor throughout her memoir. She really took me on a journey. I’m not really an outdoors person, but I enjoy books that take me into the midst of an outdoor adventure, and she really took me away. What was great about this book was how easy it was to read. Many of the chapters are short and there are plenty of photos included throughout. I absolutely recommend this one.

Purchase a copy of Tales From a Rogue Ranger on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Kobu. You can also add this to your GoodReads reading list.
