A review from American Cowboy Magazine,
Feb/Mar Issue, 2011
Sam DeLeeuw-
The rancher's wife is often
overlooked in song and story.
Sam DeLeeuw writes what she knows and
corrects that deficiency with a
collection of poems entitled,
"Women of the West."
She has checked birthing cows in the
freezing cold, pulled calves from
hip-locked mothers, and worked in
squeeze chutes and received kicks.
DeLeeuw tells these everyday stories
with humor and insight that women of
the West will appreciate.
