Rocky Mountain writer Stobie terms her work a \"patchwork memoir.\" Patchwork it is-breezy and wide-ranging personal essays and columns deftly woven into a funny and cohesive fabric. Stobie's surprising experiences include stints as a young rodeo champion and a Hollywood ingénue. Unexpected encounters with Hollywood A-listers like Warren Beatty and Clint Eastwood colored those years before she settled into the writing and family life back on the Colorado range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Settled,\" though, as readers will discover, isn't quite what Mary Stobie is about.
