“As a Ranch Mama myself, I absolutely love Lori's poetry. I can fully relate to each poem, as she gives her heart felt, raw rendition of living life daily as a cowgirl, ranch hand, wife, and mother of little ones, and all of the adventure that it brings. Lori keeps you laughing one minute, and choked up in genuine emotion the next, as you sense that you are saddled up and riding right beside her. I couldn't put her book down, and thoroughly enjoyed each rhyme, while she tells her heartwarming, sweet stories of what it means to be a true “Ranch Mama.””

“Lori Nelson writes her poetry on the layers of her heart. When you read it, your own heart will be filled by her words. She has written what I think will become a classic book of cowboy poetry. You and I are both blessed to have this book. I will forever be grateful to count her as a friend and a fellow poet. She inspires me! I have no doubt she will touch and inspire you as well.”
- Darrell Holden – Rancher, Cowboy Poet – Vernon, UT
“Lori Nelson is the real deal. From raising kids on horseback, to pulling calves in storms, to facing down grizzly bears and rescuing mountain lion kits from fires, Lori will lead you through in riveting rhythm and rhyme. Lori is right up there with the likes of Deanna Dickinson, Valerie Beard, and Sam DeLeeuw. Lori will make you laugh, cry and think all at the same time. Her words are heartfelt and even if you've never straddled a horse Lori will have you riding the range from the first stanza. I cannot praise this poet or this book enough. “
- Rocky Sullivan – Cowboy, Cowboy Poet – Cottonwood, AZ
