Laura Bell

Laura Bell recounts her wild and transformative adventure in her debut memoir, Claiming Ground (Vintage, $15.00).  In 1977, Bell left her family home in Kentucky to herd sheep in Wyoming’s Big Horn to Basin. The only woman in a man’s world, she nevertheless found a home among the strange community of drunks and eccentrics, as well as a shared passion for a life of solitude and hard work. “Beautiful, moving, and graceful.” —The Boston Globe.
