Review
"My God, it's refreshing to read a novel as good and rank and honest as TRY." ----Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love"Burana cuts her own path through the modern western landscape."
--Library Journal
From the Back Cover
Praise for Lily Burana and TRY"Powerful and passionate…a wonderfully insightful tour of the world of rodeo cowboys and the women who care for them." Madison Smartt Bell, author of WAITING FOR THE END OF THE WORLD
"Lily Burana has written a feisty, funny, sexy novel about romantic love, family love, the love of rodeo, and, above all, the marvelous oddities of the western landscape that brings these loves together. Daryl Heatherly is a captivating, endearing narrator and her leading man, J.W. Jarrett, will charm the chaps off of the most urbane reader. TRY is a delight and Burana deserves a gold belt buckle for taking us along for the ride."--Meghan Daum, author of THE QUALITY OF LIFE
"Burana has the storyteller's gift…"--The New York Times
"…the perfect best friend…reading (Burana) is like taking a road trip with her."--The Austin Chronicle
"…a roadside lyricist…"--Salon.com

I love a book that lets me live somewhere I never could have gone otherwise. TRY brings the world of rodeo cowboys and the women who love them to life. You're not gonna want to leave. I also love a writer who can really WRITE, and Lily Burana is a marvel.

Nerve has an excerpt of TRY online, and I ordered it because I thought this would be a hot, naughty read. It is sexy, but it's so much more. So romantic and uncynical and full of scenes that transported me out of my life and into the West, with sights, sounds, and subtle details. "Trite" if you don't like romance, maybe. Lent out my copy already and know I'll have to beg to get it back. Guys might not like the book, but any girl who's ever been she-masculated will get it, devou

I can think of a dozen reasons to love this book -- its vivid, lively, sometimes bone-crunching depiction of the world of cowboys and rodeos, its frank, fearless eroticism, a storyline that's so compelling you're resentful when the world intrudes and you have to put the book down.
But if there were one reason above all I'd recommend this book, it would be this -- its brazen, optimistic, uncynical heart. The world is too full of self satisfied fiction, of authors who create characters j
