The Bitter Road

by Steven Law

Overview

Colt Ballard is a professional team roper with the talent to go all the way, but the loss of his parents from a car accident during his childhood has him fighting an emotional obstacle that keeps him from reaching the pinnacle of success. After being pushed out by the pro circuit, Colt realizes his dilemma and accepts the advice of his late father's friend to take a summer job helping underprivileged kids at a rodeo camp in New Mexico. Though resistant to any likelihood of positive change, Colt agrees to the challenges of camp owner Casey McIntire, and ventures cautiously into the hearts and minds of those he's there to help, realizing they just might be helping him more.

About the Author

Steven Law comes from a family of story tellers that inspired him with both folklore and the written word, all which derived from their pioneer days to the novels of Mark Twain and Laura Ingalls Wilder. During college Steven felt inspired to write his first novel, which a constant busy schedule forced him to put on hold. After receiving a bachelors degree in business administration Steven spent several years in corporate America, and he also nearly completed a master's degree in business education. Increasingly disenchanted with his career and course work, he dropped out of graduate school to devote his life to writing. While struggling to make a name for himself Steven has worked as a community newspaper reporter, a columnist, and a freelance Web publicist for writers and writing organizations. For over twelve years he has worked with several acclaimed authors, such as Pulitzer Prize Finalist S. C. Gwynne, New York Times best-seller Stephen Harrigan, New York Times columnist Peter Applebome, award-winning novelist, singer, songwriter, Mike Blakely, and the late Elmer Kelton.
