In her new book "The Range Wars: A Woman of the West" (published by Trafford Publishing), Joyce Moon tells the empowering story of a deaf girl who overcomes not only her auditory and vocal disabilities, but also the difficulties of living as a woman in the Wild West.
In a dangerous, wild and lawless country where men and women must learn the law of survival, range wars over grazing lands and water rights test a person's true strength. Yet one woman has the courage to fight for a better tomorrow.
Julliannyia Hamperston is ecstatic when her boyfriend calls her out West. Upon her arrival and to her surprise, she becomes involved in a range war after finding out that her parents left her a very valuable piece of land. When she meets Keith Petershire, she finds herself torn between her desire to be her own woman and to be a woman in a loving couple.
A deaf mother of eight children, Moon incorporates her own personal experiences into the story, creating an exciting new Western with a unique commentary of American West customs and traditions.
