The daughter and granddaughter of Wyoming ranchers, Teresa Jordan gives us a lyrical and superbly evocative book that is at once a family chronicle and a eulogy for the land her people helped shape and in time were forced to leave. Author readings.

Riding the White Horse Home is a quiet memoir about family and community. Each critical member of Teresa Jordan's family is covered in separate chapters. She deals with each character in her life with love, even when noting their faults. Even though the memoir is about life on a Wyoming ranch and the changes in ranching life, there are many truths that anyone can relate to. The writing is wonderfully simple and engaging.
